Google Cloud Print brings printing on the Android phones


According to the Google Mobile Blog, Google has rolling out their Cloud Print feature to android phones that support HTML5 (Android 2.1+). The feature has been in beta testing since last year and allows printing from mobile documents and Gmail without the need to install any software. This new option lets you print documents or emails from just about anywhere as long as your printer is hooked up to Google Cloud Print.

To get started you will need to connect your printer to Google Cloud Print. It only works on a Windows PC right now, but Mac and Linux support are coming soon. Once setup just navigate to your mobile browser and choose “Print” from the dropdown box in the top right corner. Mobile Gmail users can also print email attachments (such as .pdf or .doc) by clicking the “Print” link that appears next to them.
