I've only been using Chrome OS for a week. I had already paired my HP OfficeJet Pro 9010 with my Android phone and my WIN 7 Pro PC. Turned on the printer and my Acer Spin 713. Typed CTRL + P and the printer and the Chromebook did the rest. Paired in under a minute. Prints faster than with my PC. Printing looks great! Another great video from Chrome Unboxed. Y'all are my single source for learning how to use this Chromebook and Chrome OS. Thanks! Happy and HEALTHY New Year!!! Stay Safe.

Chrome has come along way with setting up printers. The Cloud printing never really worked right. Every time I wanted to print I would have to re-register the printer. But a couple of years ago, connecting to a printer was pretty easy and always stayed connected. My Brother MFC-L2700DW which is about 4 years old works perfectly with my Chromebooks.

Very Funny! My new HP deskjet plus 4100 is listed as compatible with Chromebook. I go through the Chromebook install just as you say and everything works with no errors. Then I try to print. I get an error saying it can't find the printer. It shows up in the list just like it did in the install but no print. I upgraded Chrome-os and re-installed but still no print. I'm ready to return the printer to the store. I have 3 Windows devices that have no problem printing to it.

Google's failure to properly address or even acknowledge printing issues will be the downfall of Chrome OS if they don't deal with it very soon. I have an HP which has been fine, with my Chromebook (although the Chrome OS 86 update messed it up for some models) but I hear about issues with Canon, Epson and several others. Why the rush to get rid of CloudPrint for all these other printers that seem to need it?

My printer was connected to wifi, could print from word on my laptop using windows but not from Chromebook or Chrome browser on my laptop. I used this HP app shown on the video to change the name of the printer. Then I went into chrome OS, hit Save (it always showed the printer before but this time the save button was lit up) and now the printer works. Can't really explain it but it now works and all I did was change the name.

Should be fine, as long as the ethernet and wi-fi are the same network, i.e. coming from the same router. I'm doing it the other way (Chromebook via ETH and the printer on wi-fi) and it works just fine. The tools/ apps/ drivers shouldn't go any deeper into the stack than layer 3 in my understanding so to the software ethernet and wi-fi should look the same.

Plugged in usb-to-printer cable (Amazon $7), went to printer (search in settings on chrome book), and there it was. Not sure what effect my previous experiments had. Used HP Smart on iPhone to set up printer, and then it was at least seen by chrome book, but got message saying not supported. It’s possible just plugging in usb cable would do it. I suspect it’s a security issue which usb connection obviates. Also tried “hp print for chrome” which allowed recognition but not use.

You're leaving out a couple of key issues with Chrome OS and the HP Smart app... first, it won't let you print any documents or spreadsheet... you need to convert these to PDF first. Also, you don't need your phone. The HP Smart Print app installs on your Chromebook as an Android app. Unfortunately, the ChromeOS HP Print Extension (which was far better) stopped working properly with the ChromeOS 86 update. It was better than the HP Smart app as it would print anything without having to convert to PDF first. Neither HP or Google seems to have any interest in fixing the issues that arose with the ChromeOS 86 update so for now it looks like the HP Smart option is the best option if you have an HP printer
