Google's 'Cloud Print' service is shutting down soon

Their help page completely fails to document how to use computers to act as printer servers for your hand-held devices which was my primary use case. The lack of help strongly suggests a blind spot to me: the continuing utility of the service. I also used it to print from a recalcitrant mac which refused to talk to the printer directly attached.<p>I&#x27;m sure there is a traditional lpr&#x2F;cups path out for a Windows 10 host with use printer, to run a queue. Google doesn&#x27;t seem to want to tell me about it.

Using any Google product is very scary as they regularly shut many great services like Google Reader down. Disappointing.

I loved cloud print. Sad it or something similar didn&#x27;t take off.
