Print Documents Remotely With Cloud Print

From , former About.com Guide

More and more of us are using our smart phones to check e-mail, work on documents and keep in touch. So, it only makes sense that you want to be able to print from your smart phone, too. Fortunately, there is now an easy way to print from your smart phone to a remote printer.

Google Cloud Print lets you print remotely from a smart phone or tablet computer. However, there are catches that may turn some users off.

For Cloud Print to work, you must have Google's Chrome Web browser installed on a Windows machine running XP, Vista or 7. You must also enable the Cloud Print features. Then, you can print from the Web and some mobile apps.

Cloud Print works with Google Docs and Google's mobile apps. From the app or Web browser, you simply select Print. You'll be able to print to your printer.
