@Larab3, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Wireless Printer Connection to a Chromebook! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

  

If you're experiencing issues connecting your wireless HP printer to your Chromebook, here are some troubleshooting steps that might help resolve the problem:

 

Check Printer and Network Connection:

  • Ensure that your printer is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromebook.
  • Restart your router to refresh network connections.

Update Chromebook and Printer:

  • Make sure that your Chromebook is up to date. Go to Chrome settings > "About Chrome OS" > "Check for updates".
  • Similarly, ensure your printer's firmware is updated. You can usually do this through the printer’s control panel or by visiting the HP support website.

Enable Google Cloud Print:

  • Although Google Cloud Print has been deprecated, some printers still support Chrome OS native printing. Make sure your printer is compatible with Chromebook printing options.

Add the Printer Manually:

  • On your Chromebook, go to "Settings".
  • Find “Advanced”, then under “Printing”, click “Printers”.
  • Select “Add Printer” and ensure your printer appears in the list. Select your printer and follow any on-screen instructions.

Check Wireless Direct or Wi-Fi Direct:

  • If your printer supports HP Wireless Direct or Wi-Fi Direct, enable it and connect your Chromebook to the printer's wireless direct network.

Reset the Hardware:

  • Turn off your printer and unplug it from power.
  • Turn off your Chromebook.
  • Wait a few minutes, then turn on your printer and Chromebook.  

 

Hope this helps! 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
