The following native print management features are currently or will be supported by Chrome OS by the end of 2019. There are also a few features in the works to come before Google Cloud Print is officially deprecated at the end of next year (emphasis ours).

Google highlights many equivalent Chrome OS features that are already live or will be added to the operating system’s native printing functionality by the end of the year. For environments besides Chrome OS, or in multi-OS scenarios, we encourage you to use the respective platform’s native printing infrastructure and/or partner with a print solutions provider. Google has improved the native printing experience for Chrome OS, and will continue adding features to native printing. Google notes that Chrome OS’ native printing solutions have been vastly improved since Cloud Print launched in 2010, and also promises that native printing in Chrome OS will continue to get more features over time. We recommend that over the next year, you identify an alternative solution and execute a migration strategy.

When the installation is complete, click “Close”.

Start by visiting the Google Cloud Print Service page, and click the blue download button.Ĭlick the “Accept and Install” button and then click “Yes” if a User Account Control dialog appears.
