Have you ever found yourself desperately trying to print to a nearby printer, but blocked by the fact that you didn't have the correct printer drivers installed on your computer? Nowadays there are hundreds if not thousands of printer models and drivers, and sometimes it is very difficult to get your computer set up with the right ones that you need to print at any one given moment in time. Google is about to debut a beta solution for this very problem, in a product called Google Cloud Print, which will free you from having to install individual printer drivers on your own computer.
