Google Cloud Print allows you to print documents from a device connected to the Internet, without using a print driver. You can send documents to the printer from anywhere, including documents stored in the cloud, a personal computer, tablet, or smartphone.

Before you begin:

• Set up a Google email account.

• Configure the printer to use IPv4.

• Configure Proxy Server settings as needed.

Note: Verify that the security configuration of your firewall supports Google Cloud Print.

To register the printer to Google Cloud Print Web printing service:

1. From a computer (on the same network as the printer) open a Web browser.

2. In the Web browser address field, enter the IP address of the printer and then press Enter or Return. The CWIS home page will be displayed.
   
   
   
   

3. Click Properties.
   
   Note: Many features in CWIS require an administrator user name and password to access or modify. If prompted to enter Administrator Account login details:
