Types of Google Cloud Print Printers
Printers used with Google Cloud Print can either be Classic printers, such as standard USB or
networked printers you are already using with Windows and Mac systems, or Google Cloud Print
Ready printers which know how to communicate directly with Google’s server over the web to
retrieve print jobs.
Classic printers need to be connected to a Windows or Mac system that is running the Chrome
browser and has the Google Cloud Print Connector installed and active. There is more help on
connecting Classic printers and using Cloud Print at: support.google.com/cloudprint/
Cloud Print Ready printers do not need a Windows or Mac system or the Cloud Print Connector to
be running to receive print jobs but instead connect directly to the web once they are set up.
Setup instructions for Cloud Print Ready printers varies by manufacturer - you can find a list of
these printers and links to instructions at: www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html
Registering Classic Printers for Cloud Print
Administrators should register any shared classic printers in their facilities using Google Cloud
Print from their organization’s Google Apps for Business account. Otherwise users would need to
register and manage printers from their individual Google Accounts requiring them to also have
Windows or Mac systems to run the Cloud Print Connector.
To register shared printers with Google Cloud Print:
1. Within Google Apps, set up a dedicated service account to manage cloud printing.
2. Register your server by setting up Google Cloud Print Connector on a Windows or Mac system
with the following steps:
a. Make sure all of the shared printers you want to use with Cloud Print have been installed
and are active devices on the Windows or Mac system.
b. Install and run the Chrome browser.
c. Then select the Setting tab from the Wrench menu and click on the ‘Show Advanced
Settings’ link at the bottom of the page. After you scroll down to the bottom of the Settings
tab you’ll see a button labeled ‘Enable Google Cloud Print Connector’ and then
click on Finish printer registration on the tab that appears.
d. This Windows or Mac system needs to be powered on and running for users to be able
to print - either use a dedicated PC that is set to not to go to sleep or power off or set
it up on a Windows print server system that is always active, tying this printer to the
dedicated Google Apps service account. And this Google App service account needs to
be logged in in the Chrome browser on the system running the Cloud Print Connector.
