Printing today has never been easier. There is no need to be physically near the printer and push the buttons yourself. Now, all you need is a Smartphone, PC, printer, and an internet connection with WiFi.

The Google Cloud Print allows you to print Gmail and Google Drive documents from your mobile. If you open the dropdown menu on your Gmail and Google drive mobile version, you will notice the “print” option. You can print anytime, anywhere with your smartphone with multiple printers just as long as you set them up. No need to wait on queue or be near a computer to print. You can print as soon as you link your Android or iPhone mobiles to your printer.
