Late last year, Google announced that Cloud Print will be killed off in 2021. Cloud Print was a service that allowed users to connect a local printer to the cloud to print to it from any device. This tool was especially useful for Chrome OS devices, which left us wondering if some sort of replacement would be introduced. Google appears to be working on a solution.

There are several methods to print from a Chrome OS device, but the functionality is greatly lacking when compared to Windows or macOS.
The good news is Google appears to be working on a printing solution for Chrome OS. Last month, work began on a “Print Management app” for Chrome OS.

The flag description reads: “Enables the print management app that allows Chrome OS users to view and manage their native print jobs.”
What’s even more difficult than printing with Chrome OS? Scanning. Thankfully, Google appears to be working on something for this as well.

Another new flag titled “Scanning UI” has a description that reads: “An experimental UI that allows users to interact with a connected scanner.”

As Chrome OS has evolved over the years, it has continued to gain more abilities. Some of the things seem pretty basic, such as this printing and scanning app. There’s still a lot of work that needs to be done for the operating system to be on par with Windows and macOS.
