Interested as well on the Chromeboxes. Not sure why Robert you were having an issue at the device level. We have it working will all devices as it's a user-based permission that governs whether you can print or not.On Wed, May 17, 2017 at 11:08 AM, Robert Carter <[log in to unmask]> wrote:We were able to get it going on the Chromebook’s themselves but never the Chromeboxes, this was about 6 months ago. I will have to look back into, thanks all.

Google Cloud Print works for us on Chromeboxes.

Not sure if you intend to set up Google Cloud Print or if you already use it in your environment but a ‘gotcha’ we got direct from G Suite support is that the Chromebox (regardless of Manu and Model) will not support Google Cloud Print and require a bit of third-party software (see $$$) to support it and even then the vendor cannot guarantee it. They have yet to provide details around it though.

Happy Spring (finally!).
Was wondering if any of you are using Chromebox for computer lab desktops.
If so:
- Any gotchas?
- How are you handling log ins?
- Guest account?
- Everyone using their assigned domain accounts?
We are looking to replace an aging iMac lab. Options that are being floated are MacMini, Chromebox or maybe even Linux/Ubuntu (but that is not high on the list at this point - not looking to add another OS). The school is about 50/50 Mac/Chromebook.
Suggestions and thoughts?
Cheers and see you next week at Dynamic Landscapes 2017!!
Keith
