Sharing a Printer


If your friends or colleagues have Google accounts, you can
share your printer with them and let them print to it from
anywhere that has an Internet connection.


Step 4
❱ You will then see a confirmation that Google Cloud Print has
been enabled. The printer is now associated with your Google
account and connected to Google Cloud Print. You can print to
this printer using Google Cloud Print as long as you sign in with
the same Google account.


Step 1
❱ To begin sharing your cloud connected printer, head to the
Google Cloud Print management page at http://www.google.com/
cloudprint. This shows you a complete list of any printers
associated with your Google account.


Step 2
❱ Click the Printers on the left side and select the printer that
you want to share. If the printer is connected properly you will
see a Share button. When you share printers, you share printer
names so choose a descriptive name when setting up your
printer for the first time.

Step 3
❱ In the dialog box that appears, enter the email address for the
person or Google Group you want to share with and click Share.
Your friend will receive an email notification. To disable sharing,
follow the steps above to open the Sharing dialog box for the
printer and edit the user list.

Print From Everywhere?


Google Cloud Print integration works with many Google products and services, the first
of which are Chrome OS, Chrome, Gmail for mobile and Google Docs for mobile. You can
also print to third-party native mobile apps on the Android and iOS platforms. You can
also try the Google Cloud Print app for Android, so you can not only submit print jobs to
connected cloud-ready printers but also control printer options and manage print jobs
right from your mobile device.
