Not from what I can tell from their web page. Then again it all
depends on how you define "compatible". Being protocol centric I define
it as wire compatible. They could, of course, integrate their solution
as a back end to Google Cloud Print. The print job would make multiple
hops with transformations occurring along the way but the effect would
be a job submitted by a GCP Client would print on a Cortado compliant
device. They just seem to be hosting the drivers up in the cloud. It is
sort of a "remote print". It looks like the transformation to a device
specific PCL is done up in the cloud and the results are sent to the
device.

Subject: RE: [Cloud] Maybe we should talk to these guys
Almost all members of this alliance are PWG members. It would be
interesting if these members would offer an opinion on an interaction
with the Cloud Printing Alliance.
When companies that have a "solution" start up "alliances" to develop
standards....usually the idea is to make their solution the "standard".
It is perhaps unfortunate that, after the PWG finally appeared to agree
that an industry standard was preferable to a whole flock of
self-proclaimed de facto standards, that this emerges. But then, perhaps
the knowledge of this development is what prompted the agreement for a
PWG Cloud printing activity.
Of course, I seem to recall that ThinPrint was promising a Google Cloud
Printing solution last year. Is this still compatible with the Google
approach?
