Chromebooks on COVID’s Front Lines
Chromebooks are computers for everyone…except when you need to print.
Printing from a Chromebook can be a real pain in a**!
Google made it easier for a time with its Cloud Print Service, but the company recently announced it would no longer support Google Cloud Print after December 31, 2020.
What’s a Chromebook user to do?
You have two options:
1) set up CUPS for printing to local and network printers, or
2) use one of Google’s third-party “printing partners” to manage your print needs.
We’ll go into both options below.
While we’re sad to see Google Cloud Print go, CUPS is a more universally accepted UNIX-based printing system, which widens the field of choice for Chromebook compatible printers.
Now, almost any new printer is compatible with your Chromebook!
Enter The King Of CUPS
CUPS is an acronym for Common UNIX Printing System. CUPS uses Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) to connect with local and local network printers. Google hopes CUPS will replace its Google Cloud Print Service.
According to the Googs, when you open your Chrome settings and add a printer, the CUPS protocol should automatically find local and network printers and add them to the list of Chrome printers. Simply select your printer and start printing — no additional setup needed! Easy-peasy!
The Google reach is broad and deep, and printer manufacturers have stepped up to meet the demands of Chromebook users, offering a slew of devices and printers for Chromebooks. A variety of 2022 printer models make a good match for the ubiquitous Chromebook.
With the right printer, Chromebook printing is as easy as Ctrl+P!
Printers for Chromebooks and printers that work with Chromebook are awesome! Don’t forget to cash out your leftover toner and ink cartridges with a reliable toner buyer.
Setting Up CUPS
On Chrome devices, simply go to your settings and select print. Available printers should automatically appear.
Like Google Cloud Print, you can use the Admin Console to manage your printers and users. The Admin Console will allow you to set:
- User-printing defaults for two-sided and color printing.
- User account and file name in the IPP header of the print job included over a secure IPPS connection. This enables third-party printing features, such as secure printing and print-usage tracking.
- Set-up of advanced printing attributes (stapling, paper trays, pin printing).
- PIN-code printing management. This allows users to enter a PIN when sending a print job and release the print job for printing when they enter a PIN on the printer.
- Extension APIs for third-parties to access print job metadata and submit print jobs.
According to Google, the Admin Console will soon allow support for external CUPS print servers, including authentication. Additional future upgrades include a policy to configure connections to external CUPS print servers, and APIs to provide printer-management capabilities.
Using A Print Partner
In addition to (or instead of) using CUPS to print from your Chromebook, you can also follow the links below to learn more about Google’s printing partners.
You can set up printing with a printing partner through the Admin Console. Turn Google Cloud Printing off by accessing Chrome’s settings. Depending on your circumstance, you may need to ask a server administrator to turn off Google Cloud Print.

I live in IL where I’m taxed to death by Governor prick. I can’t afford a new printer so how do I know what used printers will work before I buy?

Does canon imageclass 6030w will work with google chrome?
Nothing beats a black-and-white laser printer for cranking out pages, Agustinus, and your Canon Imageclass 6030W is a champ! As the “w” implies, your Canon has wireless connectivity, so, as long as your Chromebook (or Chrome browser) shares the same wireless network, you should be able to print, no problem. Good luck!

why i cant connect my printer canon pixma ip2770 in my chromebook!
Sorry, Jake but the Pixma ip2770 isn’t a wireless printer. You should be able to connect it to your Chromebook with a USB 2.0 cable, however. Old school, Jake!
Open your Chromebook settings and scroll down to the Advance Setting arrow. Click it and scroll down until you see the Printers section. Click the add printer button and set up your Canon Pixma ip2770. You can download the latest drivers for your ip2770 here.
Will my brother printer HL-L2305W work to print on my Samsung Chromesbook? I can’t get it to print & not sure if it’s compatible. Please advise.
You should be able to use Google Cloud Print through the end of the year, but after that you’ll need to download a CUPS driver from Brother. Should be able to print after that!
I believe your Brother HL-L2305W will work with your Chromebook as long as your printer and Chromebook are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Hi I have a Canon MG2550 and I have just purchased a chromebook but I can’t seem to print on it from the chromebook. Have you any suggestions or ideas please.
Hi, Denis. Unfortunately, it looks like the MG2550 doesn’t support wireless printing, so you may have trouble getting it to work with your Chromebook. However, try connecting the printer directly to your Chromebook with a USB cable and then check “connected devices” under your Chromebook’s settings panel. You may find a workaround. For more info check here. Good luck!

Make sure both your Chromebook and Pixma have the latest software updates, plug them together with the USB cable and give printing a try!

Hi i have a lenovo chromebook which printer is compatible decently priced as its only to print off school homework nothing. Ive got a canon mg3650s but can’t seem to connect it? No clue here
That’s strange, Laura. Your Canon MG3650s is WiFi ready, so, if it shares a wifeless router with your Lenovo Chromebook, you should be able to print. Make sure both your printer and your Chromebook have the latest software updates, shut everything down, and try again from scratch. This Chromebook Support Page may be helpful.

I have been using Verizon Ellipsis 7 Tablet,Android, for several years now. My Dell laptop was great but was Windows XP so that’s useless. Thinking about buying Chrome book. also printer. I don’t play games, I do research and watch news and movies .Printer is important but don’t need color photos.
What is best combo?
Thank you.
That’s a big question, Ethel, and the answer depends on your user behavior and budget. As far as printers go, the HP Officejet 3830 and Samsung Xpress color laser printers are both highly recommended. When it comes to Chromebooks, the Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga is a beauty if you can afford it, while Samsung makes a bunch of nice Chromebooks in the $200-300 range. Maybe pairing a Samsung Chromebook with a Samsung printer is the way to go? Or an HP Chromebook with an HP printer? The possibilities are endless. Good luck!
ps – we don’t play games either…when it comes to paying top dollar for surplus toner!

Thanks for the question, Chanda. The first thing you should do is update the drivers and firmware on your Canon mx492. You can find both here. Next, restart your Chromebook and go to the settings panel. Run any software updates that are available. Connect your Chromebook with your mx492 using the USB cable and restart both the Chromebook and the printer.

Hello, I cant install my old printer HP laser cp1215 on my HP chromebook, i found the name on settings but it doessnt print at all !!
I dont know what is the problem here.
Any idea??
Why can’t all of HP’s equipment just play nice with each other, Amr?
First I would see if there are any firmware or driver updates available for your HP Laser CP1215.
Check here for updates, or here (though it looks like the available drivers are for Windows-based computers, not Google Chrome).
Next, update your Chromebook’s printer drivers here.
Restart both the CP1215 and your Chromebook and try adding the CP1215 as a new printer. Good luck!
