If you have work that you give your students on the Chromebook and needs to be printed, Google Cloud Print can be set up to where you can print from your Chromebook. Here’s some easy steps to set up a printer to a student’s Chromebook.
1) Open up Chrome on the desktop that is currently connected to a printer, which is the one that you want your students to print from. Don’t do this on a Chromebook. It has to be a Mac, Windows or other non-Chromebook device.
2) From there, go to your Settings. It is in your Menu button.
3) Scroll to the bottom of the page until you find the words “Show Advanced Settings”. Click on that.
4) Find the Google Cloud Print section and select “Manage”
5) You should come up to a printer management page where it says “Add printers”.
6) Then just select the printer you want the students to print to and select “Add printer(s)”.
7) After you add the printer you want, go to “My devices” and select “Manage”
8) To share with students, you just hit the “Share” button and type in the student’s email addresses.
Make sure your desktop is on otherwise the students are not going to be able to print from their Chromebooks.
