What Is Cloud Printing and How Does It Work?
Learn what cloud printing is, how it works, and why businesses use it to print from anywhere
Cloud printing is a technology that allows users to send documents and print jobs to a printer over the internet.
Users can print from different devices and integrated applications, including computers, tablets, smartphones, and POS systems. A cloud printer can also receive print jobs from another location, making the process more flexible and efficient. To enable this flexibility, it is enough to run the Cloud Print Agent on a device connected to the printer via Wi-Fi or USB.
What Is Cloud Printing Used For?
Cloud printing is commonly used in offices, restaurants, retail stores, schools, warehouses, and businesses with multiple branches.
For example, a restaurant's POS system can automatically send customer orders to the kitchen printer. A company can also manage printers in different locations from a single cloud-based platform.
