Then make me pay for Cloud Print. I'm already paying for Drive and GSuite, I think I can handle $1/year more.
Heck, add features like secure job release, integration with enterprise directory services, and services for brochure printing and online photo printing/albums. Document management and printing services is a huge industry.
Companies and universities hate doing printer driver and device management, and hence all the outsourcing of printers. But the outsourcing companies have to bolt an extra box on many printers to enable printing, or write special printer GUI firmware, makes it expensive. Could all be on your phone instead.

Once again, Google has screwed itself and it's users.
