Choose the computer next to the printer
Install the Agent on a Windows, macOS or Linux computer that already has the printer driver and can print a local test page. One Agent can expose the printer queues available to that computer.
CloudPrint for business
Download CloudPrint Agent
Install CloudPrint Agent on a computer that can already print to the required local or network printer. The page reads the current public release catalog so download links and SHA-256 checksums stay current.

Use only official installers
Download files from the CloudPrint Public API links shown below. For managed deployment, compare the downloaded file with the published SHA-256 checksum before distributing it to workstations.
Connect after installation
Open the Agent and follow the CloudPrint connection flow for the correct account or managed customer. Keep the Agent running so it can receive authorized jobs over its outbound connection.
No inbound printer ports
The Agent initiates the connection to CloudPrint. You do not need to publish the workstation, printer web interface or raw printer port to the internet.
Which operating systems are supported?
The public catalog lists the currently published installers for Windows, macOS and Linux, including architecture and package format.
Do I need a CloudPrint account before installing?
You can download the installer without signing in. You need an account connection or a managed onboarding link before the Agent can receive print jobs.
How do I verify an installer?
Calculate the file's SHA-256 digest and compare it with the checksum shown in the current public release catalog.
Where should I install the Agent?
Use a computer that is normally available and can already print to the intended queues. Do not install it on a server that has no access to the local printers.
Does the Agent expose my printer to the internet?
No. It uses an outbound connection and does not require inbound access to the workstation or printer.
