Here is what I learned and damn am I impressed!
If I make a Back-up of Livreelec, all of m scripts and the whole she-bang gets backed up
if I then restore to a fresh install, it all works, the whole she-bang
This was all on x86_64 so I can not speak for other platforms
I recently had the experience of testing printing on ChromeOS.
What I learned is that , what I did in ChromeOS, would probably also work on LibreELEC!
SHO 'NUFF!
Today I tested and yes it does work.
This was all on x86_64 so I can not speak for other platforms. Might be interesting to test on others!
What you need:
An IPP or CUPS printer. Many network printters are IPP already , you may need to enable it. CUPS can run on MacOSX, Raspberry PI or other linux, making most any printer IPP
Chrome Browser addon in LibreELEC from here
IPP / CUPS printing for Chrome & Chromebooks - Chrome Web Store (open this from Chrome in LibreELEC)
After install CUPS IPP addon in Chrome on LibreELEC
Configure the printer in the CUPS/IPP addon
My cups address looks like this
http://raspberrypi.local:631/printers/samsung_ml-1670_series
you will need the entire address and path
delete any sample or unused printers from CUPS/IPP addon
Now when printing from chrome, select CUPS/IPP Printer, and away you go!
UPDATE
Fow printing to a WIndows shared printer you can try this:
UniPrint Mint Beta for Chromebooks - Chrome Web Store
I have not tested it

I have 2 cheap Chinese NM70 systems that have served me very well. However lately one seems to always reset BIOS settings ptting it into Legacy boot and the other seems to no longer want to boot UEFI mode. The answer to the obvious is yes I have changed the batteries in bith systems, The disks have been verified and boot other machines.
My question is is it possible to convert my back-up USB that is UEFI, to Legay boot? I have MANY MANY custom sripts and custom functions programmed outside of the normal Kodi tuff.
I was thinking of taking a chance and running Ubuntu boot repair on it and see if it would perfoem some kind of Magic. I think I would then end up with GUB and maybe a mess.
It seems I recall a ultility to back up and restore that was specific to LibreElec but it probably backs up only addons and settings right?
Also I read somewhere once that there was a bootloader that allowed Legacy systems to load UEFI, much like they do in hackintosh communities, even making OSX boot on Legacy BIOS.
Ok I have seen there UEFI/Legacy questions around the web so many times and always have the same question. How is it that a CD or DVD like Ubuntu can boot Legacy or UEFI but I can not make an installed OS that does?
Thanks for any help.
Chewitt , I understand that however if someone here seems to have an "official" release it seems it should work, even if it is php5 . I think ther real issue is it is not ready for LE 9
I have been seeing the same through Leia Betas and Release candidates
no , thanks anyway.
I can not believe it is php5 anyway.
seems any modern distro now has php7

Nothing on 4080 either. Maybe it needs updating for newer LibreElec x86-64?
Should that run on port 80?
I am running the latest Leia RC5 build of LibreElec and it appears to not work.
I have a scan server that I wrote. I would love to run it on LibreElec but also need HTTP server with PHP support.
running on x86_64
I say "ditto"

Using the RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter . I can See that ifconfig shows:
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:A9:D2:55:9D:01
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
This seems to imply that the adapter is supported, however in the LibreElec utility it does not show up.
I am running x86_64 image 8.90.009
i think part of the problem you have is the documentation and the attitude that you (collectively) display here and is all over this forum. In one case a user had a same problem I had , and it was you that seemed to accuse him if installing from a different repo and how the repo will update automatically. It does not but after all you DO KNOW IT ALL.
You might want to think about how you seem to run folks off . Must be former Kodi devs from a couple years ago.
I got tnhrough the remote install. 90% of what I had seemed would have been easier to use older Lirc
I believe the LE repo as well as the Kodi Official repo, are not updating once going to Kodi 18. Been trying to get through this myself. I can not even install confluence from officil Kodi repo for this reason
After upgrade to 8.9 , many addons disable like IPTV SImple, Confluence, do not have correct repos for Kodi 18 , nor LibreElec 8.9 I believe.
How do I get the latest repos only?
Please explain how you got the repos to update. They will not update for me.
I had really hoped that LibreElec would be a viable solution for me . UNfortunately I have enconuntered quirqs in IPTV Simple client, Playlist Loader addon will not work at all due to lack of Python and/or Python-requests , it seems there is no way to configure the same remote map that I have used on XBian, Ubunbtu, OSMC. It seems the Wiki abou remotes is intended to confuse not clarify. The wireless suport seems very unreliable with 2 different USB WiFI adapters, both work fine with Kodi/Ubuntu
It is too bad as the world needs a Good Kidi/Linux distro for x86 , this just is not it, at least yet.
