Today, we’re going to take a look at just how easy it is to set up an HP all-in-one printer on your wireless network with just your smartphone. This is due, in part, to the fact that Chromebooks don’t need to download drivers or install applications to access network printers. In some instances, setting up a wireless printer and using it with a Chromebook is actually easier than it is on other operating systems. Thankfully, printing on Chrome OS has come a long way over the past couple of years. As of December 31, 2020, Google’s wireless printing protocol will be retired and that has sent many Chromebook users into a tizzy as they scramble to find a viable printing alternative.

Unfortunately, ( or fortunately, if you know what we know) Google Cloud Print will soon be no more.

For years, this meant finding a printer that supported Google Cloud Print or setting up a second computer as a print server for your Chromebook. More specifically, users finding a printer that works with Chrome OS and setting up that printer has long been one of the biggest hurdles Chromebook owners. Chromebooks and printing have a historically painful relationship.
