Printing on a Chromebook is a straightforward process that involves using a simple keyboard shortcut and selecting your desired printer.
Simple Steps to Print on Your Chromebook
To print a page, image, or document that is currently open on your screen, follow these steps:
- Press the keyboard shortcut: On your keyboard, press Ctrl + P simultaneously. This action will immediately display the print dialog box for the content you are viewing.
- Select the printer destination: Next to the "Destination" option within the print dialog, select the Down arrow. This will open a dropdown menu showing available printers.
- Choose your printer: From the list that appears, choose your printer.
Selecting Your Printer Destination
The "Destination" dropdown menu lists printers that your Chromebook can detect or is configured to use. It's important to carefully select the correct printer from this list to ensure your document is sent to the right device.
Printer Compatibility
When selecting a printer from the destination list, be aware that some printers listed in the drop down menu may not be compatible with your Chromebook. If you select a printer that is not compatible, your print job may fail. Ensure your printer is compatible with Chrome OS for reliable printing.
