Hey there! @Ab3331, Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums! 

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out. Let me ask you a few questions in order to assist you better.

 

Did you make any changes to your printer?

 

Are you able to print from other devices?

 

Is the printer and the Chromebook connected to the same network?

 

Let's continue with the troubleshooting steps now.

 

To use Google Cloud Print, register your Google Cloud Print Ready printer with Google Cloud Print.
Make sure your Chromebook is turned on and is connected to the wireless network with an active Internet connection.
Turn on your printer or press a button on the control panel to make sure the printer is in a ready state.
On your printer, make sure the light next to the Wireless icon is on and steady, and then open the Wireless network menu to make sure the printer is connected to the same network as your Chromebook.
If you have not connected the printer to the network, for printers with LCD or text control panels use the Wireless Setup Wizard in the Network, Wireless, or Setup menu to connect it, or press the wireless button until it blinks, and then press the WPS button on the router to connect using Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
Open the Chrome browser, and then sign in to your Google account.
Click the Chrome menu icon, and then select Settings from the drop-down menu.
In the Settings window, scroll down and select Show advanced settings....
Scroll down to Google Cloud Print, and then click the Manage button.
Google Cloud Print detects any printers on the network.
If your printer is listed under 'New devices', click Register, and then click Register again to confirm and print a confirmation page. For some printers, you might be prompted to complete the registration from the control panel.
If your printer is listed under 'My devices', and then your printer is already registered with Google Cloud Print. Click Manage to view your registered Google Cloud Print printer.
If your printer is not listed, and then it was not discovered. Continue to the next section to register your printer using HP ePrint.

 

Refer this article to know more information about printing from Chromebook.

 

Lastly, if nothing works try restoring the printer network settings to default and connect the printer back to the network again.

 

To restore network settings to default settings
●Press and hold the Wireless button and the Cancel button from the printer control panel
together for three seconds.

 


Let me know if this helps! 
Have a pleasant day ahead! 🙂
