Google Cloud Print allows you to access your home or office printer from your iPhone and any device you can connect to Gmail.

To set this up you have to use Google's internet browser, Chrome, to link any printers on your PC's network to your Gmail profile. This makes them available from anywhere connected to the internet.

Setting Up Cloud Print

First step is to go into the settings and select the options menu

Here you just need to look for the Under the Hood tab on the top left of the window-

This will give you a list of all the printers you want to use in the cloud and you select one of them. Now you have your printers set up and you can print from your devices.

Now that you have Google Cloud Print set up and your printers are online, you can use your iPhone to print anything in your Gmail inbox.

Print with iPhone

With your iPhone, open Safari and go to Gmail.com. When you log in and select the email you want to print hit the down arrow at the top.

Hit print and and you will be able to access all the printers that you set up with Google Cloud Print.

Now when you print from your iPhone it will come out of the selected printer.

While you can only print emails for right now, I would not be at all surprised if Cloud Print expands in the next year to print whatever documents or pictures you want from your phone. For now if you want to print pictures or documents on your phone, simply email them to your Gmail account and print them from there.
