[shaun23]

I have added the HP officejet 5740 printer and my chromebook sees the wifi network but when I try to print I cant get a preview and then get a printer communication error. Can anyone help please.

@shaun23  all you need to know about printing from chromebook:

Print photos, documents, webpages, and emails through the Chrome browser and supported apps.

1. Open the item you want to print.

2. Click the Chrome browser settings icon , and then select Print.

   

3. Next to Destination, click Change, and then select your printer.

   

4. Change any print settings, and then click Print.

Additional install and setup options

Use these additional options to print from a Chromebook to an HP printer.

• HP Print for Chrome app: Supports printing through the Chrome browser to USB and network connected printers. Go to Printing with the HP Print for Chrome App for more information.

• Google Cloud Print: Print from anywhere from any web-connected computer or mobile device. Go to Connecting and Using Google Cloud Print for more information.

• Wi-Fi Direct printing: To print wirelessly without joining a local Wi-Fi network, go to Printing with Wi-Fi Direct.
