Google Cloud Print was announced back in April 2010. It would let printers to be shared over a cloud, and all clients to the cloud could push print jobs to the shared printer from any where they want. The service is a full fledged print manager that lets you specify all print parameters.
Yesterday, Google announced Cloud Print for mobile phones. This would mean that if you have documents to be printed urgently while on the go, you could print them on your personal printer using your Android/IOS phone. All you need to do is open the document in Google docs and click the “print” button.
