32How To Setup Your Printer In Chromebook [Tutorial]
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.
This guide assumes that you already added the printer to your wireless network. If not, many modern printers include an embedded touch display that walks you through a setup wizard. If no display is present, grab the manual or download it from the manufacturer’s website.
If you have a printer that does not support wireless printing, skip to the next section. Otherwise, make sure the printer is on, functioning properly, and connected to the wireless network.
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.
