Google Cloud Print

Google Cloud Print, Google’s cloud-based printing solution that has been in beta since 2010, will no longer be supported as of December 31, 2020. For more details, refer to https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/9633006.

The Google Cloud Print modules enable you to retrieve or delete print jobs and print in your Google Cloud Print account.

Getting Started with Google Cloud Print

Prerequisites

  • A Google account

In order to use Google Cloud Print with Ibexa Connect, it is necessary to have a Google Cloud Print account. If you do not have one, you can create a Google account at the Google Cloud Print website.

Note

The module dialog fields that are displayed in bold (in the Ibexa Connect scenario, not in this documentation article) are mandatory!

Connecting Google Cloud Print to Ibexa Connect

After you click the Continue button, Ibexa Connect will redirect you to the Google website where the dialog This app isn't verified appears.

  1. Click on the Advanced link.

  2. Continue by clicking on the Go to Ibexa Connect (unsafe) link.

  3. Confirm the permissions dialog by clicking the Allow button.
