chrome. printerProvider with Google Cloud Print

Question

The chrome.printerProvider API allows the creation of printer drivers, that are accessible for local print from the browser.

Is there a way to use this extension to create a Google Cloud Print printer, that can be accessed over the network (like you could use the Chrome browser integrated Proxy for local Windows printers)?

Does this work under Chrome OS?

Answer 1

I think you're looking for Google Cloud Print. Cloud Ready printers connect directly to the web. With Classic printers, you need a computer to set up the web connection.

Furthermore, you'll have to check if your printer is in the list of Cloud Ready printers for you to do this.
