Chromebook OS and HP Envy 7200 Series

[BlakeU61]

My daughter-in-law just bought an HP Chromebook with ChromeOS. HP does NOT have a driver for the HP Envy 7200e series. This completely boggles my mind. How do I get a driver for her printer?

Welcome to the HP Community --

An "HP" Chromebook is just a Chromebook with an HP name on it.

True - ChromeOS is its own animal and provides its own ways to do things, including print.

True - There are not HP software drivers for ChromeOS.

What about using Android Apps on Chromebook / ChromeOS
