Hi! Welcome to the forums :)

I don't have a Chromebook but am interested in ChromeOS, so I'll try and help as best as I can. Don't freak out... Ubuntu is different, but worth learning. If my...

I figured out how to enable USB printing on a DD-WRT router, and have written it up here, in case anyone else has the same problem.
