You can print from your Chromebook using most printers that connect to Wi-Fi or a wired network. Currently, Chromebooks don't support Bluetooth printing.
While Google’s Chromebooks are all about online services, sometimes you need a good old-fashioned printout to accompany your digital adventures.
Before you can print from Chrome OS, you must add a printer to your Chromebook. Unlike traditional operating systems, such as Windows and macOS, Chromebook printing capabilities are managed by the Google Cloud Print service as opposed to the operating system. This configuration allows you to send documents to a printer wirelessly or physically connect a printer to your Chromebook.
Printing from a Chromebook has gotten a lot easier over the years, but it still isn’t always obvious how to get started or which paths to embrace. Follow this guide, and you’ll be churning out paper from your cloud-centric computer in no time.
Tip: You can also use a USB cable to connect your printer to your Chromebook. When you use a cable, you'll see a notification. Follow any onscreen instructions. Your printer won’t need to be connected to Wi-Fi if it is directly connected to your Chromebook.
