When I send an email to my boss, it goes up to Google servers.

That's how cloud stuff works. Picking on cloud printers in particular is raging at the wind.

Good point, but email is understood to indicate remote people, even if in truth your boss is sat next to you.

Printers don't really fit this model - when you tell something to print (for the printer on your desk), getting it sent to the other side of the world just to come back is daft, energy inefficient and wasteful.
