Google Cloud Print is ready to spool in beta, if you have a Windows PC handy

Google blew the lid off of Chrome OS yesterday in a big way , and one of its key features is now ready to roll. Cloud Print was unveiled back in April , a method to enable Google mobile devices to print via nebulous networking, and it’s now here — with some caveats. The biggest being that right now the only host for a non Cloud Print-compatible printer (basically all but this one ) is a Windows PC running Chrome 9.0.597.1 or greater. Set up the service through there and the browser will host your good ‘ol printer to your Chrome OS device. Don’t have a Chrome OS device? You will . Eventually more printers will support this natively, eliminating the middleman, and we’re sure printing support will be coming to Android down the road too. When? In due time, fair reader.
