I am trying to hook up my HP Deskjet F4180 to my Google Chromebook that has a Google OS. How do I do this?

 

I read on a forum that I can register the printer to eprint and then use google cloud to print. But, I'm having trouble finding a printer claim code so I can register the printer and so on......

 

I can't even find a settings button on this printer that was given to me by my in-laws with no operation manual

Thanks!!!!

Hi there, first off here's a link to the user guide for your printer, just in case you need to reference at any time in the future :Wink:

 

Now in relation to using the printer to print from your Chromebook there's a couple of things to be aware of. Your printer model is not web enabled so it will not have a claim code. Google refer to this type of printer as a "Classic" type printer and this link will provide instructions of how to connect your classic printer with Google Cloud Print which is how you print from a Chromebook.

 

This YouTube video on printing from a Chromebook with Google Cloud Print may also be of help in getting started.

Unfortunately the chromebook is the only computer I have :indifferent:

The you tube video shows how to print from a chromebook but.........to start you need a printer that is already connected to another computer. I don't have that. 

Just my printer and the chromebook
