How to Turn Off Google Cloud Print Notifications for New Printers

Google Cloud Print is a handy feature in Google Chrome that lets you print to local, network, and even remote printers. Part of the Google Cloud Print service includes adding additional printers to Google Chrome so that you can easily print to any computer that you want.

In order for this to essentially let you print wherever you want, Google Cloud Print can scan your network for available printers. But if you are on a large network with a lot of printers, you may find that you are getting a lot of notifications asking you to add new printers. If you would prefer to stop these notifications and add printers manually, then follow the steps below.
