Adding a shared MacOs printer to a Chromebook
As of ChromeOS 66, chromebooks have the ability to print to any CUPS based printer on your network.
To add simply enter your Chromebook settings page, search for printers, then click 'add printer'
Name: this can be anything
Address: the IP address for the remote printer
Protocol: IPP
Queue: the printer path. e.g. /printers/(your_printer_name)
To find your printer path. Go to: http://localhost:631/ Click Printers,
then you'll see a list of your shared printers. Click the one you want, and now view the address bar path. It
will be something like http://localhost:631/printers/(your_printer_name). Then add your printer driver, if you can't find
your printer, try selecting Generic and a PCL 6 driver.
