Gmail Print was just an April Fool Prank by Google, but if it was a reality, it would surely work out for Google and Tadacopy is a perfect example to prove it!
Tadacopy is a company floated by Japanese Students to offer free photocopies to their fellow students. All the printing costs are covered by running advertisements behind the photocopies. The papers used in these photocopies are thick, so that the ads won’t appear on the other side of the paper. Tadacopy machines have been setup across a few dozen campuses and they are already a big hit with students.
If Google ever wanted to make Gmail Print a reality, they could easily cover the printing cost via advertisements. They’ve already crept into radio, TV and newspaper, why not paper? However, the possibility of Google bringing this feature into a reality might be seriously low, but I would like to see students across the globe come up with a Tadacopy like venture.

This was the only prank by google by which i got fooled and logged in my gmail just to check if there any button exist
If it comes to reality how about misuse of it ? (or call better use) if i want an article which i downloaded from website to be printed and don’t want to waste money on printing will just send it to myself from another mail id (yahoo zindabad) and order its print.
