Mobility Print

This extension requires Chrome version 114+

Simplify printing from your own ChromeBook for organizations using PaperCut Mobility Print

This extension makes it ultra-easy to print to any brand or model of printer, locally, or over the internet. Your network administrator has done the hard work for you by publishing all available printers, meaning you don’t need to worry about anything other than installing this extension and printing!

For the Administrator OK… so if you’ve read down this far, you’re probably a real techie and likely a Sys Admin! Hello friend :-) If this is your first taste of Mobility Print, pop over and take the tour, or sit back and relax and watch on YouTube. TL;DR PaperCut Mobility Print offers a simple mobile & BYOD print solution across multiple vendors, servers, apps and technologies. It’s perfect for businesses supporting a mobile workforce, or schools/colleges/classroom with 1:1 laptop programs. It doesn’t matter if your end-users want to print via a phone, tablet or laptop, or if they follow Team Mac, Team Windows, or Team “Not-Sure-What-I-Have”, printing will just-work (without the need to call your helpdesk of course!)

With Mobility Print's Cloud Print feature, your users can print securely over the internet.

If you manage the Chromebooks at your organization, then you can easily deploy Mobility Print using Google Workspace, allowing users to print from anywhere by simply pressing Ctrl+P. For BYOD environments, simply send your users a link, and Mobility Print will guide them through a couple of steps to configure printing themselves.
