I have a B1W printer, a Samsung M2070 Xpress. It worked perfectly for 4 years, then, with the changes in Chromebook printing it stopped working. This morning I needed to print off 1 page of A4 and spent over an hour trying to find a solution. I thought that I might have to splash out on a new, compatible, printer. As I print less than 100 pages per year and am on a limited pension, it was pretty annoying. And then, after searching for help, I landed on the directprint.io and found this app. My printer was re-connected again within minutes. THANK YOU !
