IPP / CUPS printing for Chrome & Chromebooks Extension

Finally reliable local network printing for Chromebooks is possible.

This Chrome extension allows you to print directly to compatible network printers or a CUPS print server from Chrome and Chromebooks. No Cloud Print required.

Key features:
Multiple printer support
Printer compatibility check
Offline help page
Landscape, multiple copy printing
Now supports more printers via PWG and Unirast (Airprint) formats

Known limitations:
It does not automatically find printers on the network, you need to know the IP address and IPP path for the printer (consult your printer documentation & help section in the extension).

** Search the store for 'WiFi printer driver for Chromebooks' which offers auto-detection of printers **

Richard Lewis (ID: 000000899882edd0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/10/2023 It's a little bit fiddly to set up but this extension allowed me to print to a Samsung M2678 multifunction printer which I'd found impossible to use except from Android. You need to select Unirast as the protocol and the IPP address is http://x.x.x.x/ipp/print where x.x.x.x is the printer's IP address.

Nikolaus Anton Bartl (ID: 0000005b7b69f83a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/22/2023 Works perfectly as a workaround for my brother MFC-L2710DW on my steam deck!

Geri Paley (ID: 00000081f0e55776) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/13/2022 It says it should be compatible with my Canon MX472, but when I try printing it says it was successful, but nothing prints.

Eric Bersagel (ID: 000000f8775181a7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/11/2022 Have a Brother HL_L8350CDW which is not supported on Chromebook since Cloud Print cancelled. Been using other driver only supported via USB: worked poorly or not at all. This extension was dead easy to set up and so far runs great. (Also found and use the WIFI Printer App for Chromebooks: note, this easily told me printers IP address for using the extension.) Also like that this appears to be active per last update; the Printer App has not had update in quite a while so worry about ongoing support. I no longer HATE my Brother printer.
