Funny story about this. A few years ago, someone wrote an @channel, something like “SF office be careful which printer you select, several items from your office have ended up printed in Boston”

To which I replied “this sounds impossible” and started trying to figure out how this person could be so confused about printing that documents might magically make their way across the country from office to office!

At which point I discovered, to my great embarrassment, that Cloud Print existed, and that it was necessary to set up printers this way because of Chromebooks. Oops.

Not sure yet whether I am happy that it’s gone, or sad that other old-school techs like me won’t be able to have similar experiences going forward :)

This has nothing to do with Cloud Print specifically; printers have had support for IP printing for years. And don't most major companies have their printers set up so you print from and to anywhere?

It's not specific to cloud print, it's quite usual. In large companies several sites are on the same internal network, and you can send your print job to any printer.

In my company I can easily print my document on another continent.
