    Google Cloud Print #2

    My previous post seems corrupted with no option to reply:

    "I have completed my first install of Google Cloud print(GCP) with a new Toshiba e5506AC copier with a booklet making finisher and 10 ChromeBooks in a corporate office with many branch offices. I used the latest version GCP app that Toshiba provides to install on the copier via the web browser.

    I can print via GCP A-OK but have noticed at the bottom of the Advanced options tab, there are very few choices excluding things like secure print, Dept Codes and finishing.

    Is the purpose of Google Cloud no more than basic print function like Orientation, paper size, black/color, etc?"

    Using the latest FW 1060 and Toshiba's GCP V1.3.2 app, unfortunately GCP print jobs drops random characters.

    There is a patch called V1060D not yet published that resolves this on e5005AC series.

    At the end of the day, I do not think that GCP from any copier vendor is intended for corporate printing.

    It is mostly intended for large numbers of ChromeBooks to print with a limited print driver in primarily educational environments because of the low cost of each ChromeBook. It is kind of like Citrix printing with few applications or files installed on the local ChromeBook.

    If the internet is not working your ChromeBook is dead weight. Things like Private print, booklet making and hole punch are not part of the GCP feature set at this time.


    This install is still not done and evolving.

    Another Google Cloud Print suck is setting printing preferences is not obvious and what is obvious is very limited.

    Google Cloud Print (GCP) is free from Google. The app from Toshiba is also free.

    I would delay promoting the feature until Jan 2018 when new firmware is expected to arrive that fixes the issue of dropped characters when printing from GCP.
