Hi :) Is she likely to be happier with Windows 8? Just because this mailing list doesn't know how to configure Chrome to print to her printer doesn't mean it can't be done r isn't easy. It just means we don't have the expertise here yet.
Maybe this link? https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1069693?rd=1 Try the official Chromebooks website to find documentation, user-support, official forums etc. Perhaps try finding a Chrome forum! or google-it. I'm not sure if these links help https://duckduckgo.com/?q=HowTo%20set-up%20a%20printer%20for%20Chromebook http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os Chances are that her printer wont work with Win8 either and maybe not even with Win7. The Windows route means buying new stuff to replace perfectly decent older stuff. Staying with Windows means a radical change for almost everyone. Moving to Gnu&Linux is actually less of a change for most. Chances are that she would be more "at home" with Chrome than with Win8 or Win9. She could always buy into Win7 for the 1 year that's got left and then buy into Win8/9 in a year or so. Or stay with a more familiar interface by going to Gnu&Linux Regards from Tom :) On 18 April 2014 00:38, Kracked_P_P---webmaster <[email protected]>wrote: > > yes, but the lady I am dealing with is a person who did not know the > difference between ChromeOS and Windows, let alone would want to try to run > Ubuntu off of her Chrome Book. > > She does not understand even how to set up a wifi connection properly on a > Windows laptop, or install and keep up security software properly. > > Yes a Chrome Book might be a nice idea for some but without printer > support and software support I need, and she needs, it is not the best deal. > > I have not told her that this device will not work with her Canon Printer. > > > > > On 04/17/2014 11:47 AM, Don Myers wrote: > >> I'm quite pleased with Crouton.
