Wireless Printing from Handheld Devices:Cloud Print by Google
International search giant Google is planning to introduce wireless printing from mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, or notebooks in its new Google Chrome OS.
Mike Jazayeri, Google’s group product manager said in a blog post on the chromium blog that Google Cloud Print project is designed to enable any type of internet connected applications to print on any printer.
The new technology will replace the current technology of using drivers on local computers for printing purposes. In this technology, Cloud Print would be responsible for sending print requests to the printer through the internet which will help in bypassing the need to install a driver.
The Cloud Print technology will allow users to use any of Google’s web based productivity applications and will send the instruct to a specific printer from any handheld device. The company is still to iron out a few details like identifying the standards to make printing simplistic which it has made public as of now to get inputs from developers community.
