remarkable_printer VS pyrmexplorer

Although RCU has a virtual printer, for printing from any system application, this can also be accomplished by installing evidlo/remarkable_printer. It is a fantastic piece of software that turns your tablet into a network printer, so you don't have to rely on reMarkable's limited and flaky plugins.

There is evidlo/remarkable_print, too, which gets installed to the tablet and makes it act as a network printer.

I use this: https://github.com/Evidlo/remarkable_printer

Print to rM - I love using this, such as when I need to read a pdf for a class, documentation, or even a news article. Just set it up depending on your OS, and then print from browser/file explorer or whatever program, to your rM. You can find it here.

This works well. All you need to do is get something in PDF or PNG format then "print to reMarkable". Literally takes like 2-3 seconds on average, maybe 10 seconds if laggy network.

printing to my reMarkable

A very creatively done workflow for sure. A tip I would perhaps use, permitting your work computer allows it is Print to reMarkable. I haven't set it up as I use rM Cloud but it does look pretty unobtrusive and promising. Seems more like you're just adding a bog standard printer to your list than any extra software.

Evidlo/remarkable_print is a great piece of software that lets you print directly from Windows to the reMarkable. It installs to the reMarkable, so it's not a plugin installed in the PC, so the tablet will appear as a regular printer on your network and there is zero extra software required on any PC. You can print to the tablet from any operating system, from any program.

I use this extension https://github.com/Evidlo/remarkable_printer which let me print documents to RM. I’ve added a printer to my work PC and print Word-documents to read.

You can also take backups using easy, convenient, community-written software, like RCU (which I'm the author of), reMy, reMarkable HyUtilities, rmExplorer, rmAPI, and many others found in the Awesome reMarkable list.

Personally I'm using rmexplorer to achieve this.

There is this open source 3rd party tool called rmexplorer with which you can make a complete backup: https://github.com/bruot/pyrmexplorer/wiki

I've had pretty good luck with rmExplorer, it still works even on the newest OS update. On windows it does need to install a couple of other programs to work. But you can pull down PDFs of any of your notebooks (via wifi) and backup/restore the native files (when plugged in with USB). I don't understand why device itself doesn't show up as a drive versus having to use the web browser Beta feature.

I use RM Explorer for backing up the files on my RM via USB, and also to copy files to it. Works well...
