suniljp,

Thank you for responding. Yes, printing works OK with the Chrome book but printing requires another computer to be online, the printer must be Cloud Printing equiped or a connection to a printer made with a USB cable.

Not being able to print to a wireless printer without another computer in the system is a design issue. Unless the cost for the additional software is prohibitive, I remain puzzled by Google's decision.

Setting up printing using another computer was quite straighforward and seems to work as expected.

Chromebook Printing

What is the reason Google did not include the capability to print to any wireless printer? This failure makes an otherwise reasonable device much less useful. I was thinking about pushing for our school district to adopt the Chromebook for about 1500 students but the shortcomings make advocacy somewhat embarassing. So sad.

Google needs to rethink its corporate slogan and consider one similiar to "The user first, last and always."

Chromebook Movie Playing

Dopes anyone know why movies cownloaded from Google using a Nexus 7 tablet will not play on an ASUS C7 Chromebook? Also, free movies from Google will not play. What is the trick?
