The Cloud print service from Google makes it possible for PC users to wirelessly print to a networked printer from smartphones,

Unlike Apple’s AirPrint, which works over the local Wi-Fi network and currently requires an AirPrint-compatible printer, Cloud Print sends your print jobs via the internet.
To get started, you’ll need to Connect your printer to Google Cloud Print.

STEP 1: DOWNLOAD GOOGLE CHROME
Google Cloud Print supports a number of flavors of Windows, including XP, Vista, and Windows 7. No matter which version of Windows your rig is rocking, you’ll need to have Google’s zippy Chrome browser installed on your PC in order to leverage Google Cloud Print. You can find it at www.google.com/chrome. The computer on which you install Google Cloud Print needs to be connected
to the same network as the printer you want to print from. Before moving on to Step 2, open Chrome and turn on your printer.
You will also need a Google account
to continue, which you can create at www.google.com/accounts.

Give it a click. In doing so, Chrome will open a new browser window that prompts you a second time to Print a test page.
