The new service is part of FedEx Office Print & Go and comes on top of an earlier deal to enable cloud printing via HP ePrint.  Anthony Norris, VP, product and E-commerce marketing, noted the rollout this week makes FedEx Office the first and only national print retailer to offer Google Cloud Print.

"This positions us very nicely to service companies that are adopting cloud-based services to help run their businesses at large," Norris told PrintWeek. "Since they can print from any web-connected device through Google Cloud Print, in this is going help small business and mobile professionals meet their print needs."

Print & Go via Google Cloud Print allows users to submit documents from Gmail and Google Docs on their mobile device, or from the Chrome web browser for Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chrome devices. Customers can access these documents at any U.S. FedEx Office location by entering a unique retrieval code into the FedEx Office Print & Go self-service digital screens--or have them professionally produced by the in-house staff.

Norris suggested Print & Go via Google Cloud Print will appeal to small and mid-size companies who in the past may have looked to local commercial printers for short-run, on-deadline print jobs.
