Starting on July 23, 2013 it allowed printing from any Windows application, if Google Cloud Printer was installed on the machine. Google Cloud Print was shut down on December 31, 2020. === Integration with other Google products=== Google Cloud Print was integrated into the mobile versions of Gmail and Google Docs, allowing users to print from their mobile devices. Google Chrome 16 and higher listed Google Cloud Print a printer option in the Print Preview page. Google Chrome 9 and higher supported printers without built-in Cloud Print component through a \"Cloud Print Connector\". ==Discontinuation== In November 2019, Google announced end of support for Google Cloud Print on December 31, 2020. Google cited improvements in native ChromeOS printing as well as a marketplace of other print solutions providers in its decision to terminate the service. ==Privacy== Documents printed via Google Cloud Print were sent to Google's servers for transmission to the printer. Google stated that they stored each document queued for printing, \"but only for so long as the printing job is active and not complete\". And: \"Documents you send to print are your personal information and are kept strictly confidential. Google does not access the documents you print for any purpose other than to improve printing.\" ==References==",
