I wish this method had worked for me. I wonder if different Chromebooks have different drivers or abilities to recognize printers because I was not able to use this method on any of my kids' Chromebooks.
So my printer was delivered today. I set it up and my chromebook (which is actually an acer chromebox) instantly found it on the network and I was able to "save" it to my profile. It works great. HOWEVER, when I login using my kid's school login, the printer is visible only momentarily and I'm not able to save it. Also, the school admin has blocked adding printer via the advanced method. I have requested them to open this permission.
Oh exactly. This was a cry for help because that is the only info I had so far!
I dont have experience with the canon but i have had the brother 3770 for over a year and it is the best printer ive ever had. Print quality is very good and does duplex print and duplex scan. It's also compatible with apple AirPrint like a lot of printers, but it actually works well, unlike my previous dell.
Also works well for sending the occasional fax using google voice with an obihai200. Had an issue with an aftermarket toner, but once i swapped oit the chip from the oem toner, I haven't had any problems since. The biggest downside is that it has a large footprint and is very heavy.
Works well with a mac and mostly with chromebook. Could not print a doc properly from chromebook, but the problem turned put to be a bug with chromebook and never was able to print the doc.
I paid $260 a little over a year ago, and it goes on sale every couple of months. But that was another time, no clue what the price has been lately.
