| 1466582 | 2020-02-09 23:00:00 | There has been a problem with printing via USB with Chromebooks. The pages were blank. I have discovered that Chrome OS does not use conventional drivers, but has a container (Linux) which relies on Data from a PPD file (Post Script Printer). You will find a PPD file amongst the software supplied with your printer. Download this file, and place it in a sub-folder of 'Downloads'. When you set-up the Printer, look for the 'browse for PPD' field, and set the path to the file. Works 100% |

No problem with wireless & cloud printers. The problem occurs when an old printer is connected to USB. My printer is a Brother HL-2040 Lazer. It only has USB & Parallel ports. My main computer has Linux Mint 18.3 which has no problem with any printers. |
