Cloud Print
Cloud Print is a free service that allows you to use your printer by giving it remote printing commands with a computer, smartphone, tablet, and wherever you are in the world.
Just a device connected to the network, and on return, we will find our prints in the printer’s tray.
If the printer were turned off when it was turned on, it would start printing all print queue files.
Speaking of document management, we mentioned the new technological solutions that help streamline workflows; we have already mentioned Cloud technology among these solutions.
Today, using the latest generation photocopiers and multifunction printers and with a minimum of familiarity in this regard, it is possible to do:
1) Scan documents and find them already archived in shareable web spaces and reachable from any workstation and device.
2) Print from anywhere using any android device connected to the network.
In particular, for point 2, we are referring to Google’s Cloud Print service.
Basecamp has focused on developing a simple interface in which users can create projects, document progress and manage tasks. Basecamp Value can be deployed by any organization that needs to manage a group, including nonprofits.
How does Cloud print work?
- To be able to print, you need to associate the printer with Google Cloud Print.
- However, we must distinguish between Cloud-ready printers (i.e., already connected to the internet) and traditional printers (i.e., related only to the PC).
- In the case of printers already predisposed to the Cloud ( almost all Dokumental printers are ), it will be necessary to refer to the guides made available by the manufacturers to configure the device best.
- In the case of traditional printers, it is necessary:
- Start the PC to which the printer is connected
- Turn on the printer
If necessary, install Google Chrome
- Launch Google Chrome and click on the menu button at the top right
- Select “Settings” scroll down, and select “Show advanced settings.”
- Scroll down until you find “Google Cloud Print” select “Add printers.”
- If required, login with your Google account
- Select the desired printer and enter on “Add printers.”
- From this moment, the PC and the printer are turned on; you can send files to print from any Android device.
Save in the page view in Google Drive
- The “Save to Drive” option will no longer be available for Windows, macOS, and Linux devices.
