Google Chromebooks are popular because of their integration with other Google services. They are highly optimized for Google apps such as Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, all thanks to Chrome OS.
All Chromebooks run on Google’s own in-house operating system, Chrome OS. It uses the Chromium OS at its core while the Chrome web browser is its principal user interface.
While Chrome OS is fairly stable, Chromebook owners do encounter some bugs every now and then. Last month, several Chromebook owners reported that their devices were stuck on the login screen after the Chrome OS 91 update.
That being said, Chromebook users are reporting a new bug with Chrome OS. The latest update to the Chromebook has apparently broken the print function for many, which is a serious issue if you happen to run a business.
Users report that the right side of the page cuts off while the left page has large white space when they try to print a page.
A lot of people have complained about the same on Google Support, which indicates that the issue lies with Chrome OS. However, the bug seems to be mostly affecting HP printers.
As a result, Chromebook owners have started using their phones for printing pages. Business owners who need to print hundreds of pages in a day are also frustrated by Google’s lack of resolution.
In the meantime, we have some workarounds that might help fix the print issue on the Chromebook. The Chromium Dev Builds (M92) has this issue and was acknowledged by Google. It is available on the beta channel with some users suggesting that the issue has been fixed.
Chrome OS 93 will make it to the Stable channel on September 7th. Before it is released, the only method to fix the broken print function on Chromebooks is to update to beta version of Chrome OS 93. Here’s how you can do it:
In case you are facing issues with the print function on your device, this is your best bet of fixing the issue instantly. Otherwise, you can wait for the release of Chrome OS 93. We will update this space if and when Google releases an update, so make sure you stay tuned!
