Cloud Printing - Secure?
Greetings All,
This is a generic question and not specific to Airport.
With WPA in use, is Cloud printing as secure as WiFi?
Thanks,

I am assuming you are referring to Google's Cloud Print ... correct?
If so, Cloud Print requires an Internet connection and utilizes the HTTPS protocol to send print jobs via the Cloud. This, in theory, would use the same security level as you would use to access, let's say, a banking web site.
So this wouldn't, again in theory, be any different than communicating with a web browser. As you know the best wireless security available today is WPA2. The combination of WPA2 & HTTPS is still a pretty secure one. However, you will also have to trust Google will keep your data safe as well.
