This document discusses the history and technology of printing and cloud printing. It provides details on various printing methods throughout history such as woodblock printing from 220AD and movable type printers from 1040AD. It then describes the introduction and use of cloud printing, allowing users to print from any device to networked printers. Cloud printing services from Google, Apple, and HP are examined and the benefits of cloud printing are outlined, including direct printing without a PC, support for multiple file types, use of any printer, and availability from any device with internet access.

Printing Protocol)
- printers support either directly or as a
result of being shared through an
intermediating system

19. Contd...
In Air Print the specific component of
the protocol are missing and it leads to
compatability issues
It can be addressed completely by
translating between the two dilalects of
IPP
