Why use Cloud Print
- No inbound firewall rules. The agent only makes outbound connections, so you don’t need to open ports or expose printers to the internet.
- Works through corporate firewalls and NAT. No VPN or port forwarding needed.
- Automatic printer discovery. The agent finds all printers available to the host machine — USB, network, anything with installed drivers.
- Multi-platform. Runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Security
- Encrypted in transit. All communication uses TLS 1.2+.
- No data retention. Print jobs are permanently deleted from the cloud as soon as printing completes.
- Signed binaries. The agent installer is digitally signed.
- Outbound-only. No inbound network access required, so the attack surface stays minimal.
