This is cool functionality, but one of the reasons I'm getting an iPad is so I won't have to print out my sermons anymore, I'll just have my iPad with me.

I'm sure their are some who will print from whatever tablet they purchase, but I don't think it will be all that many.

That said, you SHOULD be able to print from any tablet device, just in case, but, oh well.]]>Apr 16th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://j.mp/chrome-netbook]]>Apr 16th 2010 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/Wow, I hate the way that guy writes. ]]>Apr 16th 2010 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/
I don't know about this one...If I understand this correctly, you need to have internet service to print, so if your internet happens to goes out or there is an issue with Google...sorry, you can't print? Please correct me if my addled brain has misinterpreted. If this is the case though, I'm not really sold on this idea as a solution for home printing. For mobile printing, sure, this would be fine. I feel like if you are going to make an OS that is meant to be run on stationary machines (business, home etc), you should have the ability to print sans internet but it very well might just be me...]]>Jun 30th 2010 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/

You prob have to set up your printer with some software and add it by serial or login account on the home computer and then once thats done you can print from elsewhere to that. I dont see it being as easy as deciding hey I want to print to every printer in a mile radius and waste people's money]]>Apr 16th 2010 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/Uhm, are you fu.....

You can't print to the closest printer, you can't print to every printer that has an internet connection. What I'm saying is, that if you have a printer at a library a mile away, you have a shot, if it's a fedex/kinkos you'll probably have a paid service. Everything else? You'll be negotiating or SOL.

Facepalm for not understanding a comment you reply to. Additionally, you assume pw, maybe you actually have to be a registered user on that printer's OS. My point is, don't assume anything and don't overstate anything. ]]>Apr 16th 2010 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/Great]]>Apr 16th 2010 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/
I am not sure if I want to send all my documents to google for them to print. So now, besides storing everything in the cloud I cant even print my documents in private, I like to read my pr0n in the toilet so what?

Why are you so paranoid? What are you printing that is so secret? Are you from North korea?

This whole 'google is too creepy' thing is so stupid. I trust Google far more than I trust other companies, even more than my own government.

@DTJ and stach it by release date behind the toilet yes... I am older than many here so I probably need the "touch"

@Apple Google Microsoft So you mock me for being concerned about my privacy with google and at the time you make a paralel between Google and NK? Why dont you trust your diet with McDonalds or KFC? Or maybe you do and thats why you are American and I am thin.. I mean, European.

Please... Stop this north-american-republican-freedom-liberator crap. It is a valid concern if I lose my password or someone hacks into my account even with the longest password and most updated anti-virus.

Theoretically any network-enabled printer right now can be used to do that.. just set up proper port-forwarding~]]>Apr 16th 2010 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/
but you can just instead of print the file "send the file", and enter the fax number.

cloud computing: refixing already fixed problems, or creating ones to fix, that never existed before.]]>Apr 16th 2010 8:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/
But that brings up the question of security. Will you really be able to print anything, at your own free will, at another end user's location who has no control whatsoever over what is printing? I cannot see how this will supplant fax machines, at least right now in its early stages. I guess what can happen is that, before the material is printed through the "cloud printers" there can be a method of accepting or rejecting the documents. ]]>Apr 16th 2010 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/
The only reason that faxes are still used today are for legal binding signatures. Yes you can use digital signatures but a vast majority of businesses are not setup for it. Fax is still a necessity.]]>Apr 16th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/
There will most definitely need to be passwords enabled on these "cloud" printers just because of the spam factor. Fax machine spam is by far the most frustrating, let alone burning out the ink in your companies $3000 printer...]]>Apr 16th 2010 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/google-cloud-print-service-aims-for-unified-universal-web-print/
