HP Chromebook 11 Review

So it's an entry level computer, probably not targeted towards us but more an e-mail and google machine for our grandparents. Which is fine.

Serious question though: Can it print?

For me, something like Google Cloud Print is awesome. For my mom, it doesn't cut it. She bought the $250 Chromebook and is constantly complaining that she can't print her documents and wants to get a new laptop. She doesn't want to purchase a cloud-ready printer because she already owns a printer, and she doesn't have another computer to leave on and connected to her printer (which is the alternative).

Hmm ... seems like raspberry pi can make a lot of sense in that case. You put the printer behind it. Is it possible?
