Adding a Printer on a Chromebook

Audience: Staff and Students

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to help staff and students access printers off their Chromebooks.

Summary: Printers are both user- and computer-specific. This means that:

• If you add a printer on one device, it will not automatically appear when you log in to a different device.

• If multiple users sign in to the same computer, each person will need to add the desired printers individually.

Printer access is managed through the Tech Department.

Instructions:

1. From your Chromebook, open the Chrome browser.

2. Click the three dots next to the Extensions icon on the right side of the Chrome toolbar.

3. Scroll down and click Print.

4. Under Destination, select the printer you want to use.

5. Click the drop-down menu and select See more…

6. Your first Print Job will be different due to a pop-up window for the Mobility Print Login.

   • If you close this window, start the print process again.

7. A Mobility Print Authentication window should appear for your first print job (see Screenshot below).

Open

8. First, mark the Remember Me item with a checkbox to avoid this message for future print jobs.

9. Then, click Sign in with Google.

10. After a successful login, select a printer from the list.

    • Some devices are restricted; check with your supervisor about printing access.

11. Configure your Print Options as needed, then click Print.
