Hello, are these instructions different than adding the printer using a Gmail account? My daughter has a Chromebook from school that she takes home but will need to return it at the end of the school year and I prefer to have the printer associated with a Gmail account instead of an IP address.Thanks

Like others point out, you need google cloud print. but unless your printer is cloud print compatible, you will need another PC on your network that serves as a print server via chrome browser.

No this printer must be hard-wired to a network or wifi router of some sort in order to print.

You can't plug a printer directly into a Chromebook, but you can print to a printer that is attached to a PC or to a HP e-print printer (for example) via Google Cloud Print as described in The Chrome Book (Fourth Edition): The Essential Guide to Cloud Computing with Google Chrome and the Chromebook

Yes, you will be able to print wirelessly on your network or hard wired to your printer.

This printer does not need to be connected to a router to function. It is wireless so if you wish you can configure it to connect to a wireless router but it can also be connected directly to a PC via a USB cable (that is how I am using it).

Absolutely. Depending on your router's features, you should have two options available. 1) Connect it to the router via Ethernet cable, then connect to it through your network. Exactly how you do this depends on your OS. Note that in this case the PC you use to se it up will basically become the "print server" and will need to be turned on if you wish to print from a different PC. 2) Some routers will let you hook up the printer via a USB cable, in which case you will configure the printer via the router's GUI, and the router will be the print server.

This unit has a built in "computer" and does not need a PC to scan or send to the cloud. It is completely stand alone.

Yes! Absolutely! Network capable too, so you don't have to be in the room with it while scanning, printing, etc.

You don't have to connect to the computer ....you can make copies independently.

Yes - one can use Google Cloud Print or the printer's email. Some printers also support direct printing from Google Drive There is no direct network printing, though. In general it is less comfortable, but it works.

Nope, but you may have to manually enter the IP address if your printer is saying offline.

Printers are not directly connected to ChromeOS computers. If your HP supports HP ePrint then it can be connected via Google Cloud Print otherwise you must have a traditional computer to run the printer and share it via Cloud Print.

As long as you able to set your printer up through your wifi network. Then you print through Google cloud print. We haven't had any issues and we have 3 Chromebooks set up using the print cloud.

Does the Chromebook have a USB port you can use? This from a Chromebook website: Chromebooks can print with printers that you connect with Google Cloud Print. Using Google Cloud print, you can make your home and work printers available to you and anyone you choose, from the applications you use every day. Google Cloud Print works on your phone, tablet, Chromebook, PC, and any other web-connected device you want to print from. I think this means no, you cannot.

You have to set up Google Cloud Print. After that you can print from almost anything. Requires a printer that is Cloud ready or already connected to a Windows or Mac. The Windows or Mac PC must have Google Chrome and Chrome signed in to your Google Account. Go to Chrome Menu then Show Advanced Settings. Scroll down to Add Printers.
