I am not a fan of 'the Cloud', in this case cloud printing, for two reasons;1. What are you supposed to do when your Internet connection is down, be that internal network issue or ISP?
2. I will not upload my documents to a third party for /any/ reason, certainly not just because 'they want them' which as far as I can see is the only reason to upload file for printing.
