Why is my Chromebook not finding my printer?
There are a few reasons that your Chromebook might not be finding your printer. The first thing you should check is whether or not your printer is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromebook. If it is, then the next thing to check is whether or not your printer is compatible with Chromebooks. Many older printers are not compatible with Chromebooks, so that might be the reason why your Chromebook can’t find your printer. Another possibility is that you don’t have the latest version of the Chrome browser installed on your Chromebook. Google Chrome is the only browser that works with Chromebooks, so if you don’t have it installed, that could be the reason why your Chromebook can’t find your printer. Finally, if none of those things are the problem, then it’s possible that there’s something wrong with your Chromebook’s settings. Try going to the “Settings” menu on your Chromebook and looking for the “Printing” section. If you can’t find it, try searching for “Printing” in the search bar. Once you’re in the “Printing” section, try resetting your Chromebook’s printing settings to the default settings. That might fix the problem.
