    I'm not sure. I have a wifi printer connected to my router, but it requires that you install software from a cd on each computer so that the computers can recognize the printer on the router without being directly connected to it. And as far as I'm aware, you can't/aren't supposed to install software onto a Cr-48. I'm going to look into this and see if there is a way for me to connect my printer to Google Cloud Print. I have class soon though so it'll have to wait until tonight/tomorrow. No promises though.

    EDIT: Actually, I was able to set it up in about a minute. I just clicked the wrench icon on my desktop, clicked options, go to Under the Hood, scroll down to cloud print and sign in with your google account. After you sign up, it instantly scans your computer for installed printers and connects them to Google cloud print. I haven't printed anything yet, I'll post here when I do.

    EDIT: Okay, her'es how it works, Google Cloud Print is some type of service that runs on your computer in the background or something, if you're using your Cr-48 and tell it to print something, it will send that information to your computer and your computer will forward that to the printer you selected. If your computer is shut off, it will wait on google's cloud print servers for the next time you turn your computer on and then print it. Btw, this works with networked and not networked (usb connected to your computer printers) printers.

    I have all my virtual printer but no actual printer. I also have my network to connect two printers and those who do not display. Will send information to your computer and your computer will be forwarded to the printer of your choice.
