Google Cloud Print has been a popular printing solution for many users, allowing them to print documents from any device to their HP printers. However, Google Cloud Print was deprecated in January of 2021 and is no longer supported. This means that devices across all operating systems will not be able to print using Google Cloud Print. If you are currently using Google Cloud Print, it is recommended that you find an alternative print solution and migrate your print services.
Recommended Printing Options
While Google Cloud Print is no longer supported, there are alternative printing options available for HP printers. One option is Printing (CUPS) for ChromeOS devices. For other devices or multi-OS scenarios, it is recommended to use the respective platform's printing infrastructure or work with a printing partner.
For ChromeOS devices, you can use your Google Admin console to set up CUPS for printing to local and network printers. This allows you to manage printers for your users, including setting user-printing defaults for 2-sided and color printing, managing user accounts and file names in the IPP header of print jobs, and setting up advanced printing attributes such as stapling, input and output paper trays, and pin printing. PIN-code printing management is also supported for added security.
Extension APIs are available for third-parties to access print job metadata and submit print jobs. For more details on configuring printing policies, refer to the documentation on setting Chrome policies for users and browsers. Upcoming features for printing (CUPS) include support for external CUPS print servers, including authentication, policy configuration for connections to external CUPS print servers, and APIs to provide printer-management capabilities.
