Printing Documents from a Remote Printer Using Google Cloud Print
Register the machine to Google Cloud Print so you can use the machine to print documents from a remote location such as your home.
About Google Cloud Print
Google Cloud Print is a service provided by Google that allows you to print files on printers in remote locations via the Internet. When using the service to print a file, you do not need to install the printer driver on the device from which you are printing the file.
Obtain a Google account in advance.
For printer models that are supported by Google Cloud Print, see the Google Web site.
The printing data is temporarily saved to the cloud when using the service. If the printer is offline, the file will be printed when the printer becomes online.
