Hi i have recently switched from a windows PC to a Chromebook. Hp's excelent help pages had me quickly printing wireslly . Using a widows based PC i used "Hp printer dignostic tools" which allowed me to wirelessly keep track of my printer, displaying error, listing the type and serial umber and the likes, and even allowed me to scan documents wirelessly. But most of all it allowed me to keep track of my ink usage, allerting me by use of a simple bar gragraph icon when I was running low on ink. Without this it's feels like driving a car with a faulty petrol gauge, you never know when you are about to run out and be stranded.  Is there an equivelent program/app which i can use with my Chromebook 

 

Regards

 

Alan

Happy to hear that you are able to print.

 

We're going to share with you how to scan, which is using Webscan it is through EWS (Embedded Web Server) which also shows the Ink levels etc 🙂
