Way at the bottom of the Under the Hood tab of Chrome 9 beta's Preferences dialog, you'll see this choice for signing into Google Cloud Print.

Pressing the button in the previous slide opens this informative sign-in dialog.

You'll then head to this web page in Chrome, with a button offering to print a test page. But we're hardly finished yet.

You can't start printing unless you sign into Gmail or another Google web service
Choose Printer

Once you're signed in, you'll see a list of the printers connected to your Cloud Print account.

After hitting Print, the yellow notice appears at the top of the dialog after the same space says "Creating print job..."
Advanced Printer Options
(http://i55.tinypic.com/2rw9f11.jpg) (http://i52.tinypic.com/6dwweu.jpg)
Cloud Print is smart enough to know about and let you change settings for advanced printer capabilities
Manage Printers
(http://i55.tinypic.com/r0ox14.jpg) (http://i54.tinypic.com/2mzlgur.jpg)
Entered via a link at the bottom of the print dialog, the Manage Printers page lets you see which device is processing print jobs. Here, you can see the Test print job queued, but it never actually printed.
