Google Cloud Print will say goodbye on Jan. 1

You might already know this news, but if you don't, Google Cloud Print is going away on January 1, 2021. It might not affect many of you, but you might still see Cloud Print as your default printing option. You can change your print settings default in apps like Chrome.

Google introduced Cloud Print in 2010 to make it easier for people using Chrome OS devices to print their documents, which was essential because printer support in Chrome OS was sparse. But in 2017, Google added a native printing option, which allowed any Chrome OS device to connect to any compatible printer on your network without needing the Cloud connection. And so, it makes sense for Google to shut down Cloud Print.
