In some days, Google will close the cloud printing service Cloud Print , something we already knew would arrive from 2019, but now that we finally get to this point, it is confirmed that Cloud Print will serve the same purpose as Android Things , which we were recently talking about.
Although it is true that, for most users, this closure is likely is nothing more than a minor inconvenience when or they find that Cloud Print is still their default print option , they can avoid that surprise when checking your print settings in apps like Chrome.
Google launched Cloud Prin t in 2010 as a way to make it easier for people with Chrome devices OS printing your documents, although it came at a time when the compatibility with printers in Chrome OS was not exactly optimal.
However, in 2017 the company added a native print option, something that allows us to connect any Chrome OS device to any compatible printer in our local network without a connection to the cloud, although apparently it was too late, as this closure shows.
