I'm attempting to use Ubuntu on a Samsung ARM Chromebook. Everything works except the plugin!

The newest Chromebooks from Samsung are ARM processors, as are many Android devices and Raspberry Pi. At least Google Cloud Printing seems to be working on the p1102w from ChromeOS and Nexus devices with a firmware update.

I found out about this incompatibility while researching setting up a print server using Raspberry Pi, and decided to see how hard it could be using my Chromebook Ubuntu. I still want to print from my distro, but there's no amount of additional effort that is going to make that happen without a plugin binary which supports ARM.

After days of learning experience, I'm going to put my printing efforts on hold until support comes. The latest status was wait a couple of releases, for release level support, which was one year ago.

I've voted for and subscribed to this bug. ARM processors aren't going away, and neither are HP laser printers. Let's marry the best of both worlds, even if it takes another year!
