Google announced plans to close its Google Cloud Print feature on December 31, 2020.

Google Cloud Print is a Google service that lets users print from any Cloud Print-aware application (web, desktop, mobile) on any device in the network cloud to any printer with native support for connecting to cloud print services – without Google having to create and maintain printing subsystems for all the hardware combinations of client devices and printers, and without the users having to install device drivers to the client,[2] but with documents being fully transmitted to Google.

Google Play sharing

Google said that Cloud Print has always been a convenient service because it supports both desktop and mobile devices and provides greater usability for older printers. Interestingly, although Cloud Print was introduced as early as 2010, it still comes with a test tag. Google also recommends using the printing experience supported by Chrome OS, or on the operating system.

Currently, Google officials have not given reasons to close the Cloud Print business. Cloud Print users need to find alternatives to address their needs.
