Before we learn about cloud printing, it is vital to understand what exactly is cloud computing. Cloud computing technology enables its users to work independently on computing resources that are available or accessible from a certain location or from a certain device. Computer resource from the centralized location provides accessibility to remote computers at different locations using internet connectivity. Service provides like Google, Apple and Microsoft use centralized resources to store the info of its users which can be accessed by any device with internet connectivity. Cloud computing therefore helps users to access their data from any location at any time.

Cloud printing follows the exact same AWS Advanced Networking and enables printing through the web. If your computer or any device has usage of internet, it may send print jobs to a printer, aside from the located area of the printer. The benefit of cloud printing is so it eliminates the requirement to install print drivers or to check the compatibility of the unit with the printer. Cloud already has readily installed drivers required for many printers that are associated with the cloud. Printers that are cloud enabled can directly connect to the net with out any specific put up from the personal computer.

For cloud printing to be enabled, a user has to join up the printers to avail this service that enables the servers located by the end of the service provider to send the printing job straight to the printers. It can also be possible to produce classic printers cloud ready, by connecting it to a web enabled computer by which a computer software connector has been already installed. It is this software connector that helps the printer to connect to the cloud. Cloud providers and cloud enabled printer manufacturer's work in the printing industry.

The providers of cloud printing maintain several servers or resources to route request for printing from the user's end to printing enabled printers. The requests may be either redirected to the printer immediately by the service provider or depending on the preference of the user.'Google Cloud Print ','HP Mag Cloud'and'eprint ','PrintMe'from Xerox, DTP systems etc are some of the major players in the cloud printing service provider's field.

Cloud printing is becoming more and more user-friendly by the day with service providers offering options like uploading or mailing content matter to an Email ID (provided by'PrintMe') where users can enter'PrintMe'to be able to print the emailed content. Another facility provided by'Google Print'is a publishing service via chrome extension through Google account to both classic printers and cloud enabled printers.

Users have the advantage of obtaining a printout without depending on any device for data storage or bothering concerning the printer drivers available and operating-system compatibility or without even switching on the personal computers. It can also be possible for users to have printable versions of the necessary content and merchants can commercialize their content without depending on any infrastructure for printing being installed at their site. Eco-friendliness and drastic lowering of printing paper wastage is another advantageous asset of cloud printing.
