Conversely, if you are NOT within a few meters of your printer, resetting the machine, managing paper jams, cartridge or toner replacement (i.e. solve the issues that invariably happen every single time you really need to print something, particularly if you are in a hurry) is tricky.
- mcagl 10y agoExactly. I don't know why this GCP seems so "irreplaceable" to people using it, given the implications of "sending your files to google just to print them". I can do the same using a wifi/eth enabled printer and my router plus maybe using a firewall to block the printer to go out on the internet and to be called from outside.

I can do the same thing with a VPS, qmail, dspam, courier, and roundcube. Why does gmail even exist? Congratulations - you're very smart. But you're not the target market.
