IPP/CUPS Printing for Chrome & Chromebooks Extension

The 'IPP/CUPS printing for Chrome & Chromebooks' is a Chrome extension that facilitates direct and reliable local network printing from Chromebooks and Chrome. It enables users to print directly to compatible network printers or via a CUPS print server, eliminating the need for Cloud Print. The extension supports multiple printers, offers a compatibility check feature, and now embraces more printer models through PWG and Unirast (Airprint) formats. Users should note that automatic printer discovery is not supported, hence the requirement of the printer's IP address and IPP path.
