Paper is going the way of the DVD, but you still need to print out the occasional work document, digital concert ticket or online form, but we're guessing some folks want to know how to print from a Chromebook. You'll just need a network-attached or cloud-ready printer and adjusting a few settings, thanks to the Chrome browser and Google Cloud Print.

This Web-based interface connects to the desk printer at home and the executive laser printer at work - and lets you choose which device prints the file. Your printing - no matter how seldom - gets done fast and easy. Here's how to set it up.

Set Up a Classic Network-Attached Printer
If your printer is connected to your computer via USB or a local access network, these are the instructions you’ll need to set up access via Google Print.

 

1. Launch Google Chrome on the computer attached to the same network as the printer. Make sure you are signed into your Google account within Chrome as on the Chromebook.

9. Select Printers from the menu on the left. Here you’ll see a list of printers connected to the computer you are using.

 

When you print something from the Chrome browser, these printers will appear as output destinations.
