Cloud Print will be deprecated in December 2020: Google
SAN FRANCISCO (Web Desk) - Google will officially shutdown Cloud Print in few days. For most people, chances are the shutdown won’t be anything more than a minor inconvenience when they discover Cloud Print is still their default printing option.
Google in an announcement said that Cloud Print will be deprecated in December 2020.
It said “before end of 2020—we recommend that you find an alternative print solution and migrate your print services.”
“January 1, 2021—Google Cloud Print will no longer be supported and devices across all operating systems will not be able to print using Google Cloud Print.”
Google launched Cloud Print in 2010 as a way to make it easier for people with Chrome OS devices to print their documents. It came at a time when printer support in Chrome OS was lackluster. In 2017, however, the company added a native printing option.
It allows you to connect your Chrome OS device to any compatible printer on your network, without the need for a Cloud connection.
