All you need to do is to send and save your document to your phone and use that printing app on your phone to print. That app might even support the access to a Cloud Drive where you can save your Chromebook document to it and print it using that printing app on your phone which has access to that cloud storage.
B — Chromebooks support Android apps. So, if you are an Android phone user you might want to try to use the Android printing app for your printer from the Google Play Store that you use on your phone and install it on your Chromebook to see if it works. I hope every user complaining here does the same. But, if the Android printing app works on your Chromebook, I think you are already good with having a solid solution.
C — Write to and pressure Google, especially if your Android printing app is crashing on Chromebook. Sending feedback to them is very easy. In Summary, having your Android printing app for your particular printer installed successfully and working properly on your Chromebook is the real solution, IMO. My printer was working until last week. Both are on the same wifi network. When I try to print the printer name shows up on the print menu, but when I click on print nothing happens.
I am able to print from my phone to this printer via same wifi. Just Chromebook is not printing to this printer on the same wifi. Pixma MX I have a Canon MX printer. Everything worked just fine until Google decided to make it difficult, virtually impossible to print now from a Chromebook. I have done everything in every iteration from the video.
Finally I thought it was working. Apple is so easy. Hi- I am trying to connect a canon mx to a chromebook with usb. Any help is appreciated! The printer reads to the WiFi. When l deleted and added again to Chromebook, it adds on to the address l put in.
All l want to know is why are extra is added to address? Does the same for me. It has no problem seeing the printer. It appears under Printers in Settings and I can Save it without issue. When I go to print something, I select the printer and there are red letters saying it cannot connect. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations. Well, I finally got it to work! So we later learned that DNS had nothing to do with it it did seem strange.
However, when I try to print something directly from the Chrome browser the print preview screen is unable to locate a location to print to. I just wait and wait and wait an no destinations are found. Because Google Docs and the other suite of apps are run from the Chrome browser this is causing me issues. Any thoughts? Any suggestions? None of this worked with a new Lenovo Flex 5 Chromebook and our 3 year old Canon printer.
If you read through the comments, Canon printers seem to have the most issues. HP and Brother printers work very well. I have a Canon MF that works with everything except my Chromebook. We have had issues getting our Brother to print for the last year. I just updated to the newest version 90 on the Chromebook and then manually added the printer HTTP and finally got it to print!! I have been having printing issues with my Chromebook after I added the safe connect by McAfee on.
If I disable the protection it will work, otherwise it just says it can not connect. Do you know why? You should reach out the McAfee and ask them which setting you need to adjust to allow your Chromebook to talk with your printer. They both are connected to the same network. Everything worked gloriously when i used google cloud print bad google I cannot find any resource to solve the error of the spinning and get it to print. I hope you may have a suggestion. Thank you kindly; Ash.
We have tried everything I had a Canon printer about 2 months ago it stopped working so we bought a HP printer My son is a Systems Analyst he tried everything to try to get the new HP printer to work still will not print The Wi FI is good still nothing My Acer always worked before this year He even printed from his google chromebook and his works great but not mine Anything help will be greatly appreciated Also my Chromebook is about 3 yrs old.
I am trying to get a Canon lbpdw to work. The USB cable would be the easiest if I could get it to work. I will keep trying. No luck so far. It appears only printers that have the Internet Printing Protocol will print from chromebooks. Not all printers have this function for some reason, even new ones. You can browse to find if your printer is on the list of those with IPP. If not then someone should come up with a software patch to make this work.
Is there a way to add a printer that is not on the same network as the Chromebook? The Chromebooks are set up on a school wifi network however, the printer is on a wired network within school. My technicians are having a nightmare as they cannot seem to get it working. I have tried but the add printer function is ghosted out and I cannot seem to add a printer at all.
You would need to set up a print server that is connected to the wired network and the wireless network. You can install PDF24 from the Chrome webstore. I have removed the printer and reconnected it. I just received an Acer Chromebook Everything but printing is set up and is working just fine. Neither show up as available to configure normally. I have entered the IP address and followed your instructions without success. Am I just out of luck? I can not get anything to work.
Not even a USB connection. I can see my printer is active and available but nothing prints when it says it is printing. Help please! Whilst I have been able to set up printing from the Chromebook to the Epson printer I cannot get it to scan.
I have to press two buttons on the printer simultaneously to scan but nothing happens. I have updated the Chromebook with the latest ChromeOS version.
I can print fine but not scan. Please help! There are a million pages that pop up when searching for a resolution and they all say the same, very basic stuff that unfortunately did not help me at all.
You broke it down in an easy to follow way and it solved my issue immediately. I have never connected a Ricoh printer to a Chromebook. Thank you John for your very helpful article. This worked and I am now happily printing. Thank you for helping me to keep using my old printer which continues to work perfectly.
This is a great article but none of it worked for me. Finally I found this: WiFi printer driver for Chromebooks. Kim: I downloaded the extension but when I try to print I get a printing started message but it just sits in the queue for at least an hour. It printed just fine for months now print is cutting off — even though the preview shows that everything will fit. So I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall. No luck. I tried adding the printer manually, with the network settings I got off the printer itself.
It is not listed as being able to do the PPD thing. I tried installing the wifi printer driver app from chrome web store.
Honestly not sure what to do at this point. Two weeks ago I started encountering problems in the Chromebook Print Dialog box. This has happened to me a few times. The only solution I have found is to remove the printer and reinstall it. I called Canon and was told I would need to use a third party printing option. They gave me a list but they all charge a monthly fee. Would never buy a Canon product again. I tried your suggestions above for manually adding my Epson WF Change the IP Address.
Each device must have a unique IP address. When setting up your printer on your Chromebook, you will enter the IP address assigned to the printer. I worked on connecting my printer for hours and hours with no luck even looked into buying a new computer and with a google search and popped up to you I can now print using my Chromebook and Epson ET !
Thanks John, this helped me finally connect my samsung chromebook to my HP printer via wifi it never worked by cloud print. But I am still having same problem that I also have with usb conneciton. I have deleted printer and reinstalled but no help. It shows up as saved on Pixelbook. I can use Epson Iprint to Scan and then print, no problem on both laptops. Just discovered if I change to another gmail account, i.
I made no other changes regarding printer, network, wifi. How can a different gmail account make the difference when printer and laptop have had no changes. It gets stuck after a couple of lines of print. I have been using this chromebook and HP printer for some years and this is a new problem.
It is the same on a Samsung chromebook, so I think it is to do possibly with the latest Chrome updates are creating this problem.
My Canon was already working fine on Linux so I knew it should be possible. I installed the Canon drivers in the Linux container and then installed the printer through the CUPS interface of a browser I could have done it using the terminal but it was just easier on the Linux container side and it worked. Then I shared the printer on the network and found it on the Chromebook printing side. It should be working with any type of printer working on Linux.
Well, sorry guys, it turns out the very moment the Chromebook is powered off, the link between the Linux container and the Chromebook somehow breaks. I have a Canon Pixma series printer and an Acer chromebook. I changed the address to the ip address, I changed the protocol to http, all to no avail.
Any suggestions for me? I used to print from my Toshiba Chromebook with no issue. Same result. I can print from my Android phone easily. I really miss being able to print from the Chromebook! Never mind! I have tried a multitude of settings and this is the closest I have gotten to a solution.
I have restarted both the chromebook and the printer and still no luck. My Samsung MW printer is not working now that Cloud print is gone…printer is connect to same wifi as chromebook and is listed but no print. Printer works fine with iphone 6S. I have a Canon MG It was working OK but now every document has multi-coloured lines running down the length of the document.
This wastes loads of ink and slows the printing down horrendously. We can print from the Chromebook thanks! My daughter is experimenting with photography and would like to be able to print her photos in high quality on our printer. Epson support has not been any help.
After trying all the help info HP gave with no results working this method worked perfectly in only a few minutes. Thank you for putting it together. Shows printer and preview, but something got screwed up. An update from Chrome, maybe? I tried deleting the printer and re-entered. All the info in EDIT is correct. It did, at one point, contain something about a CUPS printer. As I mentioned, this has worked until now.
I can get all the changes except the protocol. Just want to leave a comment of my journey of trying to print from my two Chromebooks Lenovo Flex 5i and Toshiba Chromebook 2; one new and one very old to my Samsung MW printer. I hear the printer warm up, but it never prints. Then for the fun of it, since I have a old Samsung GS7 around, I figure it would be easy to get it to connect and send print jobs to the printer and I was right.
That got me to the idea of installing the app on my Lenovo Flex 5i which also have the Google Play store. The Toshiba Chromebook 2, being a much older device, does not support the Google Play store.
So now I can print from any of the Chromebooks or mobile devices i got my iPhone to work via the HP Samsung Mobile Printer app as well without having to mess up my Windows setup.
I hope my journey give others looking for a solution to their Chromebook printing woes some ideas on what they can do to get it to work. I gave up a few weeks ago, and tried it again today. I have also tried this on an older Samsung Chromebook, and it also will not recognize the Canon printer.
If there are no further suggestions out there, I thank you all for the month or two that this actually worked. If you scroll through the comments on this post, the vast majority of them are from people struggling to set up Canon printers.
When I bought my Chrome Notebook it was reviewed as good for students and generally portrayed by so called experts as user friendly. Living 40km from the nearest small tech store it is also difficult to access expert support. Just after buying the Notebook my Canon printer died and I purchased a new Canon only to find out that Canon sasys it wouldn;t connect to Chrome.
Bought HP Envy Pro and they assured me it would work. I probably spent hours trying to connect as of course it is not a listed printer only to get various responses but usually just the printer will not connect together with rapidly flashing lights.
Read up on Epson printers having some system which will connect to anything so contacted their tech dept. Nothing at all wrong with router. As a Disability Pensioner and living in a fairly remote area printing and especially scanning ability are crucial when I need to communicate with Social Security and Tax Department.
Also saving documents from Chrome Notebook to a USB has proved impossible and despite assistance from our local sales rep taking 2 hours of his time he couldn;t achieve it either.
So Google Chrome Notebook is a useless piece of rubbish which has cost a Disability Pensioner a fortune. Hopefully going back to Microsoft will prove less frustrating and expensive. I was able to download an app from the store made for mobile devices and finally got it to work.
It prints multiple file types and you can choose from your Google Drive or downloads. If you want to choose only some pages of a document it can be found under the settings icon in the top right.
I can add it to saved printers, but it is not found in print destinations and therefore, I cannot print to it. Have you restarted your Chromebook? Sometimes that helps. If all else fails, you can also try to powerwash your Chromebook. If you look through the comments on this post, the majority of those having issues are trying to print to a Canon printer.
If a printer was designed to use google cloud print, it will no longer work. There is no work around in most cases — especially with Cannon printer. I used the home user IO print resource from Chrome web store to help.
When I try to print , I can hear the printer click and wake up, a message comes on Chromebook screen saying its printed but nothing comes out of the printer. Any other ideas as to how I can get the pair to succesfully talk to each other and print!? At the moment I can go into Google drive on my phone and tablet and print saved documents, but of course I cannot print web pages etc, so its hardly satisfactory.
As Google create Chrome OS, they should provide the answer, but as they even stopped their Cloudprint service it seems they have opted out of decent support. I thought a move away from Windows was a good move, but as I cannot do a basic thing like print in Chromebook, I begin to wonder….
Hi, yes I have followed them all! If you try to set it up manually, the model sl-mw or sl-m series are not quoted on the available drop down list, but it is recognised as such by the system. So, following advice that someone said worked, I tried some of the models on the drop down, like ml and others, none work. Even today if you can afford to just buy another printer, it seems very unpredictable as to if it will work as most that say compatible with Chromebooks still point you to the defunct Google cloud print.
As this is supposed to work on Chromebooks, I would ideally like to stay with it. The printer is up to date on firmware as is the new Chromebook. Thankyou for responding. Mark Lawrence.

I'm speaking at Wacom's Connected Ink conference on Nov. Print from your Chromebook without Cloud Print! This is very important, because Cloud Print will stop working on January 1, May it rest peacefully in the Google graveyard.
Is your printer connected to your Wifi network? If it is connected, it has an IP address. You may need to look up instructions on how to find the IP address for your specific model. Good luck! Now they can, which means Cloud Print is no longer necessary. This post explains how to do that. You can try plugging the USB cable into your Chromebook to see what will happen! That is not my experience. I was using Cloud printer with all of my printers prior to January 1, We connected the printer to the computer.
What should we do? The solution that worked for me was to remove the printer and re-install it. I have the same box with the circling thing and the only button clickable is cancel.
It does not print from any PDF apps but does print from Chrome. Very odd. Thanks for sharing your experience. I struggled getting my Canon MG to be recognized.
What did you use for the model that was close to yours? I have a pixma Thank you Jonathon!. You can also select See More to locate other printers connected to your computer.
