SETUP UNOFFICIAL MOBILE PRINT SERVICE FOR iOS
There are two pathways for using Google cloud Print on iOS devices, and
both pathways are described at length in this manual.
The first pathway (costs $5.99, very convenient) is to use a printing
app highly recommended by Google itself (not owned by Google) called
Print Central Pro that costs less than $5.
The second pathway (free, current user may be slightly
inconvenienced when printing PDF’s and Photos) requires the installation of
Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Chrome, Slides and Mail for printing different
popular file types. For instance, if you wanted to print a word document that
existed locally on your iPhone/remotely in your Google drive, you would
need to open and print it with the Google Docs iOS app. The iOS Google
Photos app does not currently support printing so you would need to either
manually upload the picture to the iOS Google drive app and print from it
(described in the latter part of this manual) or set Auto backup for Photos on
in Drive and print your backed up pictures from it (described in the latter
part of this manual). Similarly, to print a PDF, you would need to upload,
open and print the PDF from the iOS Google drive app.
PATHWAY I
1. Download and install “Print Central Pro for iPhone/iPod Touch and Watch”
or the iPad version by EuroSmartz Ltd. ($5.99) from the App store
(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/printcentral-pro-for-iphone-ipod-touch-and-watch/id427761719?mt=8).
2. An email titled Google Cloud Print Notifications (from psa273@nyu.edu)
would be sent to you in no more than 24 hours that asks you to add a shared
printer.
a. Open this email (when you receive it) in a browser on your
pc/macbook (not the smart device) and click “Add Printer”.
b. A new tab would be opened in the browser, click accept.
(If you choose to open the email on your smart device and you see this page)
(, then open your browser options and choose request desktop site in order to
see the accept button
(You should see this if you have done it right)
2. Open the Print Central Pro app
a. Open the document called “Quick start.html” and click the print icon at top
right corner.
b. Click the “Choose button” that is right beside the Print icon on the screen (it is
on top of the text that reads “GCP: Google Cloud Printing”)
c. If you did step 2 right, you should see a printer that reads
somenumber_yournetID@Google Cloud Printing.
d. Click that printer name (somenumber_yournetID@Google Cloud Printing) and
click the print button in the lower right corner. (Make sure the name that
appears beside the printer icon reads somenumber_yournetID)
Visit the nearest printer for your document (with your ID) !!!
FOR Regular, easy, fast, everyday printing of documents, see next page…
For regular printing from your iphone:
1. Open the document.
2. Click the option button that appears as a box with an arrow pointing up (or a
button that looks like a document with three dots, this is in Microsoft
products)
Microsoft word Adobe reader
3. Click “open in”/”print”
Microsoft word Adobe reader
4. Choose the icon that reads “Import with PCL Pro” / “Open in another app”
from the pop up menu. (If you have a lot of apps you would have to scroll
them to the left to find the button “Import with PCL Pro” NOT “Print with
PCL Pro”)
Microsoft word Adobe reader
5. PCL pro would open
6. Click the print button at the bottom right corner (Make sure the name that
appears beside the printer icon reads somenumber_yournetID).

PATHWAY II

based on the type of files you would be printing.

3. As a general rule of thumb, the printing process for Google Docs is very similar
to the printing process in most of the other Google apps listed above. So I
would describe how to print word documents with Google Docs and how to
print your photos from Google drive app, so you could apply this rule to print
other file types with the other Google apps.
a. Open Google Docs, browse for the file, and open it. Click the
top
b. Click the button that looks like three stacked dots and click
“Share & export”
c. Click Print and choose “Google Cloud Print”
d. Click the “Google Cloud Print” logo on the top left part of the
screen, but if this page does not appear, skip to step (E2). A
Google sign in page would open after clicking the logo.
e. Enter your NYU email address and enter your net-id and
password on the sign in page that appears next. If the Welcome
page on the right appears, click on the “Google cloud print beta”
logo to refresh the page.
f. If the page below doesn’t appear with a printer entitled
somenumber_yournetID, then return back to step 2 (on page 9) and
ensure you accepted the shared printer request. Click the printer
entitled somenumber_yournetID and click Print.
E2
PRINTING PHOTOS/PDF’s from Google Drive
