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."

Wireless or 'cloud enabled' printers have usb ports, for those who wish to install drivers and connect them directly.
