You just can't trust google offerings to last I guess:

I use https://www.printnode.com/, don't know if it's exactly what you want...
Well it was nice to have, but fortunately CUPS-printers sorta work directly on Android these days.
However, take my application scenario, occasionally I wanted to print something for my grandparents without them having to find it / open it and print it themselves, they are behind a carrier NAT with no IPv6 connectivity and they have a stupid old Laserjet hooked up to an Orange Pi Zero. Used to be one tap with Google Cloud Print, now it'll be a PITA...
I guess I'll have to set up a Sixxs IPv6 tunnel via aiccu ... oh wait ...
But what's up with Google recently, do they really need to cut costs? Translator Toolkit is also gone now and same with Google Trips... Quite sad tbh...
Another one bites the dust.....
What other reliable Cloud Printing solutions are out there? Fit enough to be used in an environment with 100k users worldwide?

Prime time for a decent competitor service to launch I'd say. Too bad it will be many years until printers have native support...
