Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,

I see that you are having issues while printing from your Chromebook. As this printer is not ePrint capable you will need to set it up as a Classic printer with Google Cloud Print. I have included the Setting Up and Using Your Non-ePrint Capable Printer with a Chromebook. It will walk you through connecting the printer to Google Cloud Print.

We can easily print from the Chromebook by adding your printer as a Cloud-ready printer. Follow the steps below:

1.  First, make sure the printer is connected to your wireless network. If not already connected, follow the steps below:

   • On the printer control panel, touch the Wireless icon .

     The Wireless Summary screen appears.

   • Touch Settings, and then touch Wireless Setup Wizard.

   • Follow the instructions on the control panel to connect the printer to your wireless network.
      

2. Now, we need to setup the cloud ready printer to your Chromebook.

   • Open the Chrome browser , and then sign in to your Google account.

   • Click the Chrome menu icon , and then select Settings from the drop-down menu.

   • In the Settings window, scroll down and select Show advanced settings....

   • Scroll down to Google Cloud Print, then click the Manage button.

     Google Cloud Print detects any printers on the network. Select your printer and then register your printer.

Now, you can easily print from your Chromebook using Google cloud print. Check http://hp.care/2cYVMZ9 for detailed instructions.
