Add Printers to Google Cloud Print

In order for you to print to a printer that is connected to one of your computers, you need to add that printer to your Google Account through Google Chrome. Therefore, you need to have the Google Chrome browser installed on your computer, and you need to be signed into Google Chrome with the Google Account that you will be signed into on the devices that will be using Google Cloud Print. Once Chrome is installed on your computer and you are signed into your Google Account, follow the directions below to enable Google Chrome Cloud Print. Step 1: Launch Google Chrome. Step 2: Click the wrench icon at the top-right corner of the window. Step 3: Click Settings at the bottom of the menu. Step 4: Click the blue Show advanced settings link at the bottom of the window. Step 5: Scroll to the bottom of the page, then click the Add printers button under Google Cloud Print. Step 6: Click the blue Add Printers button at the center of the window. You should then receive a confirmation message telling you that Google Cloud Print is ready to go. You can also click the Manage your printers link at the center of the window to see the printers attached to your computer that have been added to Google Cloud Print. You can also use this page to delete printers that have been added to Cloud Print, as well as manage the print jobs that have been sent to the individual printers. If you decide that you no longer want to allow Google Cloud Print to print to the printers attached to this computer, you can return to the Google Cloud Print section on the Settings menu and click the Disconnect printers button to disable Chrome Cloud Print on that computer.
