How to Print From Google on a Nook

Print documents on the go with Google Cloud Print and the Nook Color.

Google’s Cloud Print service makes your home printer accessible through the Internet, allowing print jobs to be sent to it from a variety of mobile devices, including Barnes & Noble’s Nook Color e-reader. Cloud Print requires Google Chrome to be installed and running on the printer’s host computer. After a simple set-up process in Google Chrome, simply login to either your Google Docs or Gmail account and print the document from your Nook Color.
