I'm glad to see this one go. When you want to print from one device in a room to another, sharing a copy of the data with Google's servers halfway across the country seems like an odd and privacy-concerning way to accomplish that.
I support relatives using Chromebooks and the old fashioned model is printing is much easier to explain and deal with! The wifi printers in my life never seem to maintain reliable connections over long time spans so we resort to using them as USB printers anyway.
- dazc 7y agoI bought a cloud enabled printer for my Dad, who uses a Chromebook. The only way I could get it to print reliably was to connect it to my Windows machine via a cable and have my dad email me whatever he wants to print. In other words, I now have two printers in my office to do what I was doing already with one.
