Skip this mess and jump right to the newest update.
There are newer, improved directions at http://tekedcentric.blogspot.com/2014/10/cloud-printing-update.html which supersede the steps outlined below.
You might have Word documents with complex layout that include word art, tables, images, graphs or other items that get completely mangled when you upload them to Google Drive. No matter what you try, it seems like the result is always a complete mess. Though you can export Word documents to the PDF format where document fidelity is much higher than Word documents viewed in Google Drive, PDFs come with their own hassles. Happily, there is an excellent, free application that will help you print local Word documents - and other proprietary documents - from your MacBook directly to EWG's Sharp Find Me printers. That free application is called Cloud Printer. Even though you will have in-app opportunities to purchase optional services, you do not need to spend any money on the app. The video below shows you how to install and use Cloud Printer. In my testing, it seems to work quite well. Let me know if you have any troubles installing and using it.
