Google Cloud Print is a Google service to allow any application (web, desktop, mobile) on any device in the network cloud to print to any printer – without Google having to create and maintain printing subsystems for all the hardware combinations of client devices and printers, and without the users having to install drivers to the client.
Google Cloud Print integrates with the mobile versions of Gmail and Google Docs, allowing users to print emails and documents from their mobile devices. Google Cloud Print is listed as a printer option in the Print Preview page of Google's web browser, Google Chrome, in Chrome 16 and higher. "Legacy" printers (those without cloud printing capabilities) are supported through a "Cloud Print Connector" integrated with Google Chrome (9 and higher).
Google introduced Cloud Print in April 2010, as a future solution for printing from Google Chrome OS. Then they made the design document and a preliminary version of the source code available.
Applications can print through a web-based, common print dialog (web UI) or an API. The service then forward the job to the printer registered prior to the service. A new kind of printer will be able to directly connect to Google Cloud Print; current printers will have to connect through a proxy server.
