Abstract
A printing device configuration application, referred to herein as a 'mass deployment tool,' provides the capability to configure a large number of printing devices for cloud printing, in accordance with specific requirements of a cloud print service. The mass deployment tool deploys and installs a cloud print configuration application to a plurality of printing devices. The mass deployment tool transmits registration settings data to the cloud print configuration applications and causes the cloud print configuration applications to register their corresponding printing device with the cloud print service. The mass deployment tool receives and stores identification data that specifies a unique identification issued by the cloud print service for each of the printing devices. The mass deployment tool may be configured to provide a graphical user interface that allows a user to specify and manage the registration settings, general settings used to install the cloud print configuration applications, and sharing settings.
