Setting Up Google Cloud Print

To print from your tablet, you must add your printer by visiting:

www.google.com/cloudprint

Choose between “Add a Cloud-Ready Printer” and “Add a Classic Printer”.

Adding a Classic Printer

To connect your classic printer, enable the Google Cloud Print connector on any (non-Chrome OS) computer that is already connected to your printer and able to print. You’ll need Google Chrome to be installed on the computer.

1. Log in to your user account on the Windows, Mac, or Linux computer.

2. Open Google Chrome.

3. Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.

4. Select Settings.

5. Click the Show advanced settings link.

6. Scroll down to the “Google Cloud Print” section. Click Manage.

The printer is now associated with your Google Account and connected to Google Cloud Print. You can print to this printer using Google Cloud Print whenever you’re signed in with the same Google Account.

Adding a Cloud-Ready Printer

For the best Google Cloud Print experience, we recommend that you use a Cloud Ready printer. Cloud Ready printers connect directly to the web and don’t require a PC to setup: you can connect one to your Google Cloud Print account in seconds, and immediately start printing to it.
