Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice on a Chromebook?

On a side note - other than LibreOffice use - - -

Have you ever tried to get older printers installed on a Chromebook?  I 
had to get a friend's to work with her printer - no go.

So I tried my printers. All but one of my network printers either cannot 
be installed or does not work correctly.  My old laser does work though.
