Cloud Print Specific API Key
Note: The Cloud Print Specific API key text box is reserved for additional systems that may need to connect their printers to the site. For instance, in case of a printing issue, our support team may need to connect their printer to perform tests. They will use a Cloud Print Specific API key to connect their printers to your site. Thus, this text box is typically used for external users.
To add your specific API Key, simply add it to the Cloud Print Specific API Key text box. Once it is added, refresh the Cloud Print Computer and Cloud Print Printer selectors to see your system and printers.
