Sunday afternoon here, just about a quarter to 4PM. Also a beautiful day here in New Jersey. Summer weather for another couple of days. At 1PM decided to watch the NY Giants vs Buffalo Bills. Just like last week the Giants score early and couldn't score again. Frak me, it's going to be a long season.

This sounds really basic, but I wonder if Google Cloud Print would work. Ricoh just launched their app for Google Cloud Print, this is one of the compatible models. It isn't available in the Play Store but rather has to be loaded into the machine. I use Google Cloud Print all the time to print web pages on older Ricoh gear, although it does use Chrome running on my desktop to process the job. The Google Cloud Print app running on the machine would eliminate that need, so I wonder if it might

Why Do Copier Reps Want to Push Document Management to My Company?

to check with them before they buy any printers or copiers to ensure compatibility. This is a big help for long term client retention. 2. The rep will make more money - For example, in our Seattle copier business , reps may make a few hundred bucks when they sell a $4000 copier. They may make $1500 on a decent document management deployment. Bigger commissions = more motivation. 3. It really does help your business. This is important.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I've been busy working on other things so I'm just now able to get back to this. I think I'm going to explore the Google Cloud Print option as txeagle mentioned (thanks). I have set up the app once before and like the way it works.
