Have you ever tried to print to a Google cloud printer from your iOS device? Apple’s “AirPrint” app allows you to print to a printer that is AirPrint enabled. So, if you want to print to a Google cloud printer from your iOS device, you must make some tweaks.

Steps to Print from iOS

Most Google apps support the option to print to a Google cloud printer. For example, suppose you are using Google Chrome to view a web site or using Gmail app to read emails or the Google drive to view documents. For all the above cases, you can easily open “Print” and print the content. The only thing you need to remember here is that the Print option will be available, but will be present in different locations.

So, when you’re using the Google apps, it provides you with the opportunity to print to a Google cloud printer instead of the default option “AirPrint.” You need to keep in mind that cloud printer will display the available printers for the Google account you have used to sign in. Google does support the option to share cloud printers with other Google accounts, but there are a few modifications that must be made to do so.
