 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com. Today I'll have another episode of Chromebook Tips and Tricks video and I'll talk about how to print from your Chromebook. I was looking for instructional videos online how to use Chromebook and print using a printer but most of the videos I saw they're outdated. They're very old and they're not complete. So I decided to create this video which is going to be a complete video and easy to understand and I'll cover both how to use wireless and wired printer and how to use old and newer printers to print from your Chromebook. So I have actually index cards which I'll be using to make it clearer and let's start with the video. So I'll just set this Chromebook aside for a second and the first thing you're going to be needing is that when you use printing from a Chromebook then there are two ways you can do it. So the first way you can do is wired. You're going to be using a USB cable and the second way you can print from your Chromebook via wireless network and when you use wireless network then you can print using either Google Cloud Ready printers or old Wi-Fi printers. So I'm going to talk about these a little later but let's first start with USB cable printing which is going to be wired printing. This is going to be very easy. If you like to use printing using cable or wired printing then all you have to do is that you have to just you know get to your USB input. So here this is USB-C. You may need a converter to connect it to your cable to the printer. So what are you going to do? You're going to just you know use a USB cable to connect this to your printer and then there's going to be a popping up screen showing up here and then you have to just follow the instructions. So I'm not going to be showing you the whole thing but it's very easy. So all you have to do is just connect, get a USB cable and connect your Chromebook to the printer. You might need an adapter if like you know your printer doesn't have direct access from USB-C so you have to just convert it from here to USB-C adapter and then your output is going to be a regular micro USB to the printer. So that's step one. So this is going to be using a USB cable via Chromebook to the printer and then you can just you know use this way. So connect printer via USB cable and follow online instructions. The next thing I'm going to talk about is how to do wireless printing using your Chromebook. So when you do that basically you're going to have two different options. So you can use Google cloud print ready printers. So these are newer printers which are already cloud ready and these are much easier to you know connect it to your Chromebook and print and you're going to have to do the setup on your Chromebook which I'll show you shortly and then the other way if you're still using an old printer but that printer has a Wi-Fi then you can still use that printer to connect it to your Chromebook and in that case you're going to have to set up that printer on a Chrome browser but this is going to be on a Mac or Windows computer not on your Chromebook. So let's say if you have a old if you have an old Wi-Fi printer it has to have Wi-Fi and then you're going to be able to set it up on your computer that computer has to be Windows or Mac computer and you're going to need a Chrome browser on your computer and then you can you have to set it up on there. So basically two ways a newer Google cloud printing and older Wi-Fi printing. If you're watching this video from like you know after two years or three or four or five years then most likely you're going to have a Google cloud ready printer. Now most of the printers actually are so most of you are using this are going to be using this setting. This is only for some of those who have still an old printer. So let's talk about the Google cloud printer first. If you have a Google cloud printer or a printer which is Google cloud ready then you're going to have to sign into your Chromebook. So the Chromebook I have here is we have it right here. So when you sign onto your printer just go to the setting of the Chromebook. Usually it's going to be on the lower right of the Chromebook. For example for this Chromebook the sign-up section or the setting section is going to be right here. So you'll click right here and then here you're going to see all the settings. So you're going to see your in a profile icon and then next to it you'll see the wheel for the setting. So if you click on the wheel that's going to open the setting page and you're just going to scroll down all the way and then you'll see advanced which is right here. So when you click on advanced then if you scroll down you're gonna see the printing option right here. So if you see the printing option then you'll click on here and then if your printer Google ready printer is already on the network then you'll see it right here and then you're going to have to just add printer. So basically the setting is right here. Sign into Google Chromebook and then go to account profile photo and then settings advanced printing add printer and which is right here. Now if you don't see a printer right here then you're gonna have to just go to a different section and you are going to have to just add printer manually which is going to be right here. So for this section I'm going to give you a link in the description box below which will show you how to add printer manually here and there's going to be YouTube video links as well provided by Google. So follow those instructions if you do not see your printer automatically showing up after clicking here. So if your Google ready printer is here then it should be right here and you can you should be able to set it up properly just clicking on it but if it doesn't then just click on add printer and then follow the instruction based on the you know links I provided in the description box below. So that's gonna be the way you can add print which are Google ready printers or these are newer printers which are already Google cloud ready so it's a very easy setup. Now let's say if you don't have the Google cloud ready printer if you have an old version of printer which has Wi-Fi then you're going to be using these instructions to set it up or to connect it to your Chromebook. So basically you're going to open a Chrome browser on your Windows or Mac computer and then you're going to go to Chrome settings then you're going to go to advanced and then you're going to go to printing then you'll go to Google cloud print then manage cloud print and then add printer. So for the section I have another link and video which I'll provide description links in the description box below. So if you're not sure about these instructions after you're looking at here then you can just go to the link and you can check the links or the video and these links and videos they're provided by Google and they're very easy to understand so you should be able to understand that very easily. So that's basically how you set up or how you connect your printer to your Chromebook to print from Chromebook and this is not difficult you can do it easily so you have to just follow these instructions.
