@aprylbetteridge, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

The printer and the PC should be on the same network for them to communicate.

The IP address required is of the printer which can be obtained by printing a network configuration page.

On the printer's control panel, press the Wireless button  and the Information button  at the same time.

To connect the printer to the wireless network, 

1. Locate the WPS button on your router, but do not press it yet.

   If your router does not support WPS, skip to the next step to connect the printer with the HP Smart app.

2. Turn on the printer. If the printer is in sleep mode, press the Cancel button on the control panel.

3. On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button  for at least 3 seconds or until the wireless light starts to flash.

4. On the router, press and hold the WPS button for 3 to 5 seconds or until it shows that the WPS connection process has started.

   NOTE: The printer stops searching for a WPS connection two minutes after the wireless button is pressed. If you were unable to press the WPS button within that timeframe, attempt these steps again.

   Once the printer connects to the wireless network, the blue Wireless light on the control panel turns on solid.

To know how to add the printer on the Chromebook and how to print, refer to this document.

Let me know how this goes.
