Using Google Cloud Print API with Google Apps Script

Google Cloud Print is a service developed by Google that allows you to manage your printers and create print jobs from any computer or mobile device, even if they are not connected to the printer or on a different network. To get started, you need to set up your script in Google Apps Script. Here's how.

First, go to Run - Show URL and authorize the script. Set the Redirect URL as below and set the allowed domains as (the Project Key is under File - Project Properties). Next, add this code to the Apps Script project, replacing the Client ID and Client Secret with the actual values from Developer Console and save the project.

To create a new Google Apps Script project that uses the OAuth2 library, go to the developer console of your project and create a new web application. This will allow you to use the Google Cloud Print API in your script.

With Google Cloud Print, you can also enable remote printing via Dropbox or Cloud Print itself, which runs on Google Servers and requires only a Mac or Windows computer running the Chrome browser (the connector). You can use this system to auto-print files as soon as they are uploaded to your Google Drive or print an email thread from Gmail.

In addition to its printing capabilities, Cloud Printer also includes a special 'Save to Google Docs' virtual printer that lets you save web pages and documents as PDFs in your Google Drive. This makes it easy to store and manage printed materials online.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the Google Cloud Print API from Google Apps Script. By following these steps, you'll be able to set up your script and start using Google Cloud Print with ease.
