How to print from the Nexus 7

So, you received your Nexus 7. You have it all set up, you've answering some e-mails, you've watched a movie or two, and now you need to print something. But, how?

Unlike Apple's iPad, the Nexus 7 doesn't have an "AirPrint"-like feature built into the operating system. Google does have Google Cloud Print, but it still requires you to use the mobile Web version of Gmail (and the like) to print.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to add Cloud Print as a share action? There is, and it's free.

Before you get started, you'll need to have Google's Cloud Print service set up and linked to your Google account. You can get started with setting up Cloud Print by visiting Google.com/CloudPrint on your computer.

All set up? Good.
