Also using CUPS denies google the opportunity to read whatever document
you're printing.

The setup to do this depends partly on what brand and model of printer
you have.
Of course it won’t work unless your printer is able to be reached over
your Internet network, and that you have Internet connection at the
moment.
I don’t know if you have to be using either a Chrome browser or a
Chromebook, but those are the only ways that I bothered to do this.
Doing it with Windows was painful for me but I did make it work for
our Brother printer. I only ran a few tests, because it was a little
slow and I saw no need to send my printing via the Google Cloud.
In the process I also printed successfully from Chrome on my MacBook,
which worked more easily.
We ended up using CUPS for quicker response.
Since you said “remotely” I presume you really mean that you want to
be at some distance, and I guess CUPS only works within the subnet.
But if you just mean a Wifi connection within your local network, then
I’d recommend using CUPS.
Again, either way it may be a hassle, but for us it’s now running
smoothly.
