Configuring the Google Cloud Print workflow

PrinterOn allows users to print from any Google Cloud Print client application to a PrinterOn printer.

The PrinterOn Connector for Google Cloud Print (GCP) is an extension to the Print Delivery Gateway component of the PrinterOn Server that allows users to print seamlessly from any of the GCP Client Applications to PrinterOn printers.

The GCP Connector helps bridge the gap between the existing Google Cloud Print workflows and the PrinterOn Server. Once the connector is configured, users can submit jobs to PrinterOn printers from Google clients such as ChromeOS or Chrome Browser.

The PrinterOn Server with the GCP connector greatly simplifies printing management in environments where users bring their own devices—smartphones, tablets, Chromebooks, and Notebooks—that do not connect exclusively to existing print infrastructure.

 This unique approach extends the following advanced capabilities for jobs submitted through the Google Cloud Print workflows:

  • LDAP/Active Directory or SSO Authentication

  • User-based Access Control

  • Print Management Integrations

  • Guest Print Workflows

Note: As you add and configure your Google Cloud printers, you will be redirected to the Google Cloud Print website to enter your credentials and provide the PrinterOn Server access to your Google printers. Before continuing, seeGoogle Cloud Print authentication to learn how to ensure that you are prepared to add Google Cloud Printers.
