Keeping in view Apple’s AirPrint technology, though it may not be pretty geared up for the time being, Google is offering its own competing service which was suitably named “Google Cloud Print”.

Google Inc. announced the news on the Google’s Gmail blog on Monday.Cloud Print lets you to register one or more of your printers with Google’s cloud services and connect them to your GMail account. once done, you will be  print e-mails and selected attachments including any file format that GMail  provides i-e HTML, DOC, and PDF directly from your phone’s GMail interface, not considering whether you are on the same network with your printers or not.

The process of registration consists of three easy steps

1- Download a special beta version of Google Chrome from the Cloud Print Website

2- Install it on a computer connected to a printer that you want to make available through the service

3- Enable the printer.

Unfortunately, Only a Windows version of Chrome beta has been made available by Google yet which locked the OS X users out of the Cloud Print, at least for the time being. However, Mac and Linux versions of the software are promised to be available soon. Interestingly, the company has also opened the Cloud Print interface prerequisite, obligating the printer manufacturers to create their own “Cloud Print-aware” devices that can connect to the service without having to go through a computer.

The installation of an important piece of software that connects your computer to Google heave some serious security question, this fact though, must not have escaped the company, since they dealt with many of them in the FAQ. Actually printed information can only kept for the time it takes to complete a print job and for improving printing quality which is rather an imprecise term that doesn’t explain whether Google gets to hang on to your documents or not. In any case, all the data is enclosed by Google’s thorough privacy policy.

The user’s side printing practice presented by Google Cloud Print works with any device compatible with GMail’s mobile service, including all versions of the iPhone and the iPad, without using any software. For the printer side of things, you will need a PC running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
