How to add a printer to a Chromebook

Before you can add a printer, make sure that you've logged into your Chromebook and are connected to Wi-Fi.

Once that's done, here's how to add a printer to your Chromebook wirelessly:

1. Go into your settings by clicking into the time section at the bottom-right corner of the screen and selecting the gear icon.

2. Scroll to the bottom and click "Advanced."

3. Under the "Printing" section, select "Printers."

4. Click on "Add Printer."

5. If you see your printer in the pop-up, select it and add it; otherwise you may need to search for it by clicking "Add Nearby Printers." You can also add it manually by following the on-screen prompts and your printer's directions.

Once set up, you should be able to easily print in the future without much setup - except perhaps selecting the correct printer, if you have multiple printers.
