The HP Print app for Chrome OS does support USB printing!

Hi,

A USB only printer cannot be directly connected to a Chromebook.

 

If you have a Windows PC or a Mac with the printer connected and install on it, set the printer as a Classic Printer by following 'Connect your classic printer' below:
