So in this whole video i'm going to show you how to find a printer that's actually compatible with your Chromebook. - Links to other recommended printers and lists are in the description. -
Now in the past you'd go to the store or go to the online website and you'd be looking for your printers and if the printer had said "Google Cloud Print Ready" on it
you say, "All right I found the right printer!" You'd buy that one and you know for a fact that that
printer would be compatible with your Chromebook. The thing is Google has discontinued that service!
So you say, "Oh no! What are we going to do?" Well the good news is that now Chromebooks are compatible
to all printers that are IPP that is Internet Printing Protocol. So if you have a printer that
has IPP on it or Internet Printing Protocol on it then it'll work. Now I have made a video on
actually how to connect your IPP printer with your Chromebook and that's listed above me
up there. So anytime you can click up there to get into that video and it will take you step by step on
how to actually connect your Chromebook with your printer now what I'm going to do is I'm going to
show you at different websites and actually have a listing of all the IPP ready printers out there
and before we get into that I would like to remind everyone that if you like these types of
videos, please click on the 'thumbs up' that really helps the channel greatly and if you haven't done
so already please click on the subscribe button. Thank you. Alright so let's get into those IPP printers
so i'm going to take you through a number of different websites and i'm also going to show you
some recommended printers out there that actually do a good job of printing from your Chromebook.
Now the very first site that i want to take you to is right here at IPP Everywhere and I'll have
a link to all these different websites down in the description so that you can actually find those
and work with these yourself so if you look at this website you'll notice there it has different
filters there in the middle it says that I can look at it through to find a different model or
make I can look at different sizes is it color or black and white one or two sided printing and then
optional staple or punch and then of course we want to go with the IPP there so what we're going
to do is look at this list here and if you notice I'm going to click on the make there and it has
HP and Lexmark and a few others there but the list is kind of small, unfortunately
and I wish the list was larger but don't worry we have other websites visit besides
this one so let's just see how this works here let's say that you wanted to find a
HP so I'll click there and right away it comes up with all the hp models that have IPP
on them as you can see there it's a long list also up there it says 643 different printers so if you
wanted to find one of these you can then go in and let's say I wanted this laser jet pro click it
and it would take me to the actual HP information website and give me more information about that
HP color laser so that's one of the very first resources I want to share with you
there IPP Everywhere so next we're going to go into Canon and look at all the Canon printers
that are compatible to your Chromebook there it is so all these will print and some of these will
actually scan from your Chromebook and there's all the model numbers now an easy way let's say
that you wanted to actually buy one of these an easy way to do that would be just to highlight
one of these models use a shortcut ctrl c and then go to shopping websites such as amazon
and then go up into the search box and use the shortcut ctrl v to paste that in
to the search box and then do a search for that particular model next we want to take you to the
hp customer support page there of course working hp printers with your Chromebook and it's kind of
nice because it shows you step by step on how to add your printer to your Chromebook but if we go
down the list here it says find the list and it says to find your printer that's compatible use
the IPP Everywhere page so those two are linked next I'm going to go into Epson printers and so
here we if we scroll down this page here from Epson you can actually see all of the printers
that are compatible so the way they list it is they show you all the printers and all the all
in one printers and they have different choices of models there we go next is the photo printers
so if you're looking for a photo printer that's compatible to a Chromebook there's that list there
next we have printers and all-in-ones for work and those are usually more expensive
but they print quicker which is kind of nice so if you want something for the office
we have a very good listing there and the next we have photo printers for work or large format
printers so actually very good listing there of the good variety that you can actually have
for apps and printers that will work with your Chromebook
and the next one we're going to go into is Brother so if you like Brother printers like I do
then here's the actual list of all of the printers that are compatible to your Chromebook there
and the one that I actually use people to ask I use the brother HL-3170
CDW printer and that is a color laser printer when I bought them they were on sale for around 150
when I go to Amazon right now there are a couple hundred dollars to up to 400 or more dollars
for that particular printer so they are kind of expensive but they are great they print quickly
and I haven't had any problems with using it in the last few years here again looking at
the Brother list there you can actually go down the list and see there's a good list of model
numbers there that you can choose from so I've shown you a number of different websites that you
can actually go through and find compatible models to shop for now I'm going to do is actually find
some printers that I actually recommend that are currently on sale and the very first one we have
is this one right here this is less than a hundred dollars and it's the HP Deskjet 2755e
it's a wireless color printer and it's all in one
and you actually get free ink with that one there and it's only about $75
and if you're a prime member you get it with free shipping which is kind of nice
now one thing that you know I always tell my students whenever before you buy something make
sure you go through the ratings and through all of the questions there and look to make sure that you
know you're going to be happy with that printer if we look at it it has 4.3 out of 5 stars so
many many people actually very much like this printer and there's 2,471 ratings so that's
so far it's sounding really good for that one
it is listed as far as when I went to the IPP Everywhere page I was able to find that one
so let me show you how I did that one what I'm going to do is I'm going to highlight
the model name go ctrl c to copy it go back to the IPP Everywhere page and I'm going to use
ctrl f as a shortcut when you use ctrl f by the way at any website it brings up the fine
option there so we can actually find text and then I've gonna go ctrl v and paste that text up there
and let's find it there so i'm gonna go next and there it is the HP Deskjet 2755 all-in-one
so we know for a fact it is compatible with our Chromebooks next we're going to look at a brother
printer and this one is more expensive so if you have a bigger budget this one's five hundred and
thirty dollars it's the brother HL-83 CDW series business wireless color laser printer now the
reason why I recommend this one here is because it does print very very quickly it has a very good
clear and crisp touch screen so it's it's very easy to set up and allows for mobile printing (but it is expensive and there may be lower cost versions)
So there you have it now you have a list of really good websites you can go to and do your research
to find a compatible printer with your Chromebook and again if you like these types of videos please
