There is no option for plug and play connections to printers, etc. Printing happens either to another location or using a windows-based network running chrome. I still have not successfully printed anything. This aspect is really the only downside to the chromebook that I have experienced thus far.

Hi Peggy R. The short answer is: "yes, but it depends"The long answer:I have only spent a couple of days with the Chromebook but I managed to print through Google Cloud Print, using a Canon MX510 printer (already connected to the family PC). This only took a couple of minutes to set up.The drawback is that it seems that the family PC has to be turned on for this "sharing" functionality to be available.I haven't done any elaborate testing or configuration.Since my printer actually offers wi-fi connectivity, I'm hoping to set it up directly with the Chromebook.If I manage I'll add a reply here.Best, R Hi Peggy R.

Microsoft does not offer a driver for the chromebook, so ultimately no. You may be able to find a 3rd party driver that could force it to work however that can be risky.

I have a network printer. The Chromebox prints to it perfectly. I haven't connected a USB printer to it. My network printer is an HP but I would think any network printer would work.

If I'm correct the Acer C7 is a chromebook, right? I dont think you can install printer drivers on chromebooks but it is possible to print wirelessly using Google Cloud Print from your chromebook. I have tried this a few times from my Android phone.Check the FAQs at Epson to see how to set this up.http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?oid=194088&infoType;=FAQs

I had the same problem, and ended up sending the printer back. Is it possible to make it work? Maybe. But it is certainly not worth the time it would take to get there. The documentation is pitiful. Very frustrating. But you know that already...

Here is a site that tells you all of the types of printers that can use Google Cloud Print. It took me 2 minutes to hook up my chromebook to a printer. http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html

Hi. Yes there is. Do a search for Google cloud print the online wizard will walk you through how to setup the printer to be recognized by your Google account. Once done, you can print from your chromebook to your printer. Works like a charm

i must be really stupid i have been working for 3 days to set up a cloud ready wireless printer to my chromebook. i have downloaded apps and registered to canon and google cloud print. and a half dozen other things and ended up nowhere. i wish i could call a tech and set by set go through the motions and get it downloaded finally.

If you can connect to Wi-Fi, then you should be able to print. My son has a chrome book and he can print. Hope this helps!

At this point in time my printer has gone offline and its to much a hassle to upgrade . I would buy another one already upgraded. By this I mean the operating system I have us outdated I can't print wireless or get it to work . Not even hp tech line could get it to work. Hope that helps , they need to rewrite the program my opinion

Yes. but you must download the updated firmware for the printer. not too hard just follow the brothers website instructions.

Yes, but you need to search for a printer app on chromeweb that corresponds to your printer brand.

Yes, you can. You can easily print to a "cloud printer". If you do not have a cloud printer (I did not have one, I have a wireless printer connected to my home network), the setup is a bit trickier, but it is still possible. In the case of not having a cloud printer, you need to configure another computer in your network to make your wireless (or wired) printer and non-chromebook computer combination look like a "cloud printer" to your home network. Then you can print from your chromebook to your printer as long as your non-chromebook computer that you configured is powered on and not hibernating. It sounds complicated and is a bit of a learning experience, however I got mine setup in less than a half hour. You can Google search for "google cloud print" for more details.

I've installed it USB to USB. I don't believe it has wireless capability but will check. I don't know about a wired way. The printer doesn't have a port for a parallel or serial feed from a computer

HP software may not be the best but they do make it available on their website. Netbooks usually don't ship with alot of ram so you may want to get the printer driver only.
