    Google Cloud Print discontinued end of 2020

    So found out Google cloud print will no longer be a option in 2020

    Konica Mobile Print isnt supported on Chrome Books

    Anyone know an alternative for Chrome Book users?

    I have plenty of users that use account track/user auth and the only way I got them printing was with Google Cloud Print classic and setting up cues with each users account codes on a windows PC then sharing that via cloud print.

    Now with that option son to be unavailable i dont know what to offer instead

      This is worrying as Ricoh have recently introduced the IMC range that supports Google Cloud Print (GCP) as a standard 'Google Cloudy Ready Printer

          they say they are discontinuing it because native driver support has improved but i tried the linux drivers recently and it didnt work.

          to be fair anyone who runs a company off chromes has to take some responsibility for their bad choices too

              Better repost in Connectivity section as other member does - unfortunately his thread was affected by known CTN bug. More members will read this than specific KM subforum and you will get more ideas.

                  I don't know Chromebook but ... Are there Universal Drivers? Maybe from another brand?
                  You could try those. Of course, with the account track this will be a problem.
