The Mountain View goliath today told punters that, effective January 1, 2021, they will no longer be able to use the service to remotely print documents. Netizens are advised to spend the next 12 months finding and setting up a different way to print.

Never used it.

Put this in the category of "things we tried and have decided to end".

Wow, another one bites the dust!

Fine by me. Didn't want to open up ports on the firewall to let print jobs come in from a laptop that is ten feet away from our old printer. I think HP has some printers that will work fine with ChromeOS just fine. Might have to look into this....
