By Dave Farrel, PaperCut: After two years of no travel due to COVID-19, I’d never have guessed my first business trip for PaperCut would be to… New Jersey. Why was my first destination the Garden State? To interview Googler Ofer Bar-Zakai about how the tech giant replaced Google Cloud Print with PaperCut MF. The pandemic made it tricky for guests to visit Google offices, so this Oregonian paid a visit to a COVID-safe location in the Sixth Borough.

Traveling during a pandemic is a mix between nervousness, excitement, and surrealism. The few people on the plane were all wearing face masks, and I was reapplying hand sanitizer so frequently you’d have sworn my cologne was Dettol.

When I finally met Ofer in person, it was a relief how normal it felt.  We spoke for a good 30 minutes before the cameras even started rolling. It was our first time meeting in the flesh, but PaperCut and Google had been in constant conversation for over two years, ever since they began their hunt for a Google Cloud Print alternative in June 2019.
