The Print function on Chromebook is uncomplicated and direct. There are a couple of ways you can print on a Chromebook. While Chromebook is compatible with almost every printer in the market, it does not support Bluetooth printers. You can print on Chromebook either directly via the keyboard, or you can print it via the navigation box on Chrome.

To be able to print on the Chromebook, your printer needs to be connected to the Chromebook. It can be connected physically via a USB cable (you might need an adapter, depending on the model), or it can be connected via the same network that your Chromebook is connected with.

How to Print on Chromebook

Click the navigate button (the 3 vertical dots ⋮) in the top right corner of the screen once you have the document or image you want to print open.

Select the Print option from the dropdown menu.

Or if you want to go with the direct route, simply press “Ctrl + P” on the keyboard.

If you opt to use “Ctrl + P”, then you don’t need to press the navigate button in the first place.

Now a menu should be open with the printing options. Make sure that you have the correct printer selected and set the other options – such as layout, color, and number of copies.

Once everything looks correct, simply click ‘Print’.
