Cloud Printing/Remote Printing
Cloud computing provides Internet access to remote printers. The most common cloud printing available is Google’s Cloud Print services. It supports multiple operating systems, and a printer that can use the Google Cloud Print Connector.
Cloud-ready printers connect directly to the Internet and do not require a computer or server for configuration. Once connected, print jobs can be sent from any remote device with the proper authentication. To set up a printer on Google, select chrome://devices on a new tab. For Android devices, go to System and select Printing > Cloud Print; then add the printer.
