Have to print partners stuff via my Windows10 machine. I have tried everything to get my Canon printer to work with my Chromebook. I have read in the instructions the printer will not work if there is a cloud address connected to the Canon Printer.
If one was ever entered, it has to be removed or it will keep going to the cloud address, as I believe it said, and will not work. I have changed all the settings but have a second printer, and HP, that is still on the cloud address. I believe this may be why my printer will not work now. Does anyone have any thoughts about this possibility? Will I need to remove my HP printer from use to get the canon to work?
I know about changing the computer setting when using different printers. Used to work in the past but not now. I was having the same problems as everyone else. My HP printer was available in the printer settings, but when tried to print anything it would hang on the print properties box. Once these were uninstalled everything worked as it should. Now that GCP is gone, it appears that this printer will not work with Print.
I have added the printer via Settings but when I try to Print, I see a tiny message when I select it from the destination of the Print dropdown:. Do I need to get a new printer this one is fairly old to use Chromebook printing more naturally? Now that google cloud is done. My phone is set up to print from my Epson series printer via epson iprint. Now my Chromebook which has a different Google gmail account from my phone, will NOT let me print from my computor.
My phone gmail is: pagliachristine1 gmail. My chromebook states wi-fi is connected. I dont understand what is going on. It would not let me add it. Epson iprint is an app on your phone…you might be able to add the app on your Chromebook using the Play store. Before you do that I would try following the steps outlined in this post to connect your CB to your printer no need for iPrint.
No luck with canon mg No ppd files. With ip adress that is http not https , tried with canon print app it crashes. Bottom line — Google Sucks. Brother HLDN worked fine with cloud print, now set up with native printing it prints everything too big and half off the page.
Tried scaling and custom margins with inconsistent success. I tried every possible printer setting to correct this no luck. I have a work around hack. I installed the Brother printer app from the play store. Seems like Google Cloud Print was removed prematurely as this was the last time color printing worked for HPs.
It does print correctly on a Brother printer however. Everything on my chromebook 11e lenovo and on my brother hl printer has been set up correctly. When I go to print the pages print blank. I know the printer is working because the other laptops print just fine. Can you recommend anything and also my when my husband had this problem I updated spooler on his computer.
My Chromebook recognizes my printer. It has worked well for a couple of years. Now, whenever I try to print, it refuses, telling me the printer is out of ink. It is not out of ink because other devices in the house are using the same printer with no problem. I completed all the steps. Made sure both Chromebook and printer were connected to my wifi showing same address. Print box on Chromebook recognized my printer, even showint low ink.
Inserted new printer cartridge and low ink indicator in Chromebook print box no longer appeared. Attempted to print docs from Chromebook with no sucess. Why does printing from Samsung Chromebook not work after completing all steps.
A few things to try: 1. Restart your Chromebook 2. Restart your printer 3. Powerwash your Chromebook this will reset any old settings that might be interfering. If I re install the printer it works for another few days.
Can this user license agreement be updated? Thank you very much!!! Thanks for the helpful video! Any idea what might be wrong? John, I have been going nuts reading and watching so much on how to print from Chromebook without Google Cloud Print. Concise, easy to follow with very clear explanation. Thank you!! Well it did not! To get this to work you need the IP address of the printer. Write this down. When you then try to print look for your printer name. You may need to ask to see additional information sorry — forgot what CB says.
You should see your printer name with a green dot on it. Then print. I am pretty sure these were the steps. I asked if a new driver is being developed or if she knew a work-around.
I used the http, the IP address…etc. No MFC-J….. The Chromebook sees the printer, but is unable to autoconfigure, so I go to advanced settings and no MG is listed. Wheat should I do to configure? My printer used to work perfectly but just today it stopped receiving the orders it seems. It works from a remote desktop, another printer works from my Chromebook, so the printer, computer and wifi connection all work.
But for some reason the combination of any Chromebook with one of the printers just stopped working. We also have another printer which does work and if I use Google Remote Desktop I can still print from the same computer to the non-functioning printer. Now one of them suddenly stopped working from Chromebooks when sent documents.
Have tried with multiple Chromebooks and none of them work, unless you use the remote desktop. I have a Canon MX, and when I enter that model, my choices are to browse or enter my printer ppd. What do I do? Is this model not compatible with chromebook? My printer stopped working. The last time it did this I was advised to uninstall and reinstall the printer and it worked fine for awhile. I tried to do it again when it quit working and now it will not reinstall.
I have followed all the instructions but there is not an Epson close to my Epson ET printer. Why did it work before and not now. By the way, I have never used Cloud Print. My Chromebook picks my printer up right away when I select the Scan option from Settings however it does not recognize the printer from the Print settings.
What I find amusing is that the Scan function picks the printer right up but the print function is garbage for me! The same thing happened to me today. The scan function picks the printer up and it then starts working.
I have both 2. Do you think I can switch the machine to print through 2. My new printer does work from my desktop. My son suggested that I add an additional name to my wifi router and try to print through that. This 2. Like your son suggested, I have two networks at home…one that runs at 2. I have tried everything suggested here to no avail. Can anyone name a few printers on the market that do work with a Chrome Book?
I fear the lists I am able to find are too old and assume Cloud Print for their compatibility. Maybe this is a problem others are having with their printing. My new printer does print from my desktop. Also, as an aside, my last two comments are missing…any reason for this? Your Chromebook will connect to a 2. I have both set up at my house and it works fine. Once your printer and your CB are on the same network, the set-up instructions outlined in this post should work!
Hi John, Thank you for clear instructions and this info packed post! I can see 2 wifi networks instead of 1. The 2nd reflects their printer name so deduce the printer is NOT on the same network as the Chromebook. Once the printer is connected to the network, follow the steps in this blog post to finish connecting your Chromebook. I apologize…. Can you set up the second network from the chromebook; and, since I have two different chromebooks, would the second network work with both?
Is any other equipment necessary? Is it difficult to set up the second network? Thanks for all your help! Having two wifi networks is a pretty common setup. There are lots of devices that will only work on 2. Setting up a second network should be very easy, depending on what type of wifi router you have. Your cable ISP can probably set it up remotely. Finally am able to print. I set my internet connection to 2. So instead of just keeping Cloudprint around until ALL printers are ChromeOS compatible, Google decides to get rid of it and force their customers to find workarounds just to print?
Powerwash Chromebook to make it work. In December my printer worked fine with my Chromebook. Google TV, Cloudprint, Hangouts…the list goes on and on. I will never trust google for anything ever again. This printing saga google have deliberately created shows google does not care about their customers, I believe google despise them.
I moved from window to chrome, now I will be moving to a Linux system and will look to replace android with some alternative because goggle are determined to cause their users pain because some genius had a thought bubble.
Google have proved they are not interested in anything they can not advertise in. Back to firefox and Yahoo mail for me. Because google hate their users with a vengeance. I no longer trust anything google does or says. Have an acer and cloud print used to work. Tried everything to fix. Am able to print to the printer using an android phone and an ipad just fine.
This is over the same wifi network that the chromebook and printer are on. Does Samsung make an android printer app? You can try installing the android app on your Chromebook to see if that will work. It is on the same wifi network with the printer. And it showed no print job on my printer either. You can try plugging it into your Chromebook using a USB cable. For work! Our IT department suggested Firefox — which prints some crazy, font blurred page.
The remaining pages get lost. Subsequent prints, the printer will say 0 documents sent! IT recommended Firefox — No, nothing, wrong answer. Someone suggested Safari? Someone else suggested using a cable from the printer closest to my work laptop. Epson website had a link to some dumb, techno-mumbo jumbo on Microsoft page that made about as much sense as the Trek talk regarding fictional warp drive.
Actually, Trek talk makes more sense than Microdoodle. I tried rolling back restore points on personal laptop and it worked, for about an hour so there is some update attached to this nonsense that eventually kicks in from a spot buried deep within your PC files.
They print Word and Excel, pictures and wedding invitations just beautifully though. Shame on Microdoodle for their technomumbo garbage. There still has to be some humanity left out there that can guide PC users through this. The workaround offered by the author might work for some users and, as reported here, not for lots of other users depending on the printer type used.
Here is the story:. For the Chromebook to print to a particular printer, it needs to have a configuration file for that printer in the Windows world this is called printer driver. That driver:. No issue here. Your printer is discovered by Chromebook on your network and you can select it as the print destination and print successfully.
You might have noticed your Chromebook is asking for it when you try to configure your printer manually and wirelessly or cable attached. Good luck with finding one for your printer even if you ask the manufacturer of your printer, so this might be a seemingly useless exercise. A — The interim solution: If your printer has a printing app for your phone then use it to print.
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.
