If you have a desktop with an attached printer you can use Google's cloud print app. This is the method I use and it works just fine. You may also be able to connect directly to a wireless printer such as the HP DJ 2540, 3520, Photosmart 6520 and many others. I have not tried this method but it should be possible. Another method would be to add a network printer to your router, this would make it available to all computers that are served by the router both wired and wireless. Hope this helps!

I'd recommend getting a Google cloud printer. Be cautious of compatibility because I have an hp printer that would not connect to the Chromebook without hooking up Google Cloud Print and a whole lot of other nonsense.

I have not printed from the Chromebook. However, two people have told me they print via Google's cloud print app to their local printers.

Here is a site that tells you all of the types of printers that can use Google Cloud Print. It took me 2 minutes to hook up my chromebook to a printer. http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html

We had issues with the printer hookup so ended up selling the chromebook and bought a different computer. We even had a IT expert come to the house, he suggested a different computer.

i must be really stupid i have been working for 3 days to set up a cloud ready wireless printer to my chromebook. i have downloaded apps and registered to canon and google cloud print. and a half dozen other things and ended up nowhere. i wish i could call a tech and set by set go through the motions and get it downloaded finally.

Did you see the article showing the component cost on a chromebook is over $320? did you really expect them to sell something like this at a loss? when they can't put horrific bloatware and get kickbacks from microsoft?

I print from google cloud on my Samsung Chrome notebook. I agree with reviewer that this printer is top of the line and I find it affordable for all it offers.

I purchased 4 PC's for my business. So far so good. I've haven't had any problems. I'm very happy with them. As far as it working with your printer, I would suggest you contact Dell directly.

When you plug in your computer a window should come up saying which printer do you want. Choose the HP 1051 and it will work.

I don't have a Chromebook, so I can't answer for sure, but it would seem that it should. I used it with a Toshiba laptop with no problem.I don't believe the printer was wireless though. So as long as you can plug it into the Chromebook it should work fine.

that's funny, i came on here trying to find an answer to the same question. i have the same old printer still running. Go HP 4L!! Did you find an answer?

Yes, I am working with it and had no problems. I just installed it a few weeks ago, following the procedure in the manual, then the firmware was automatically updated and then connected to the computer with the drivers and apps previously installed from the cd. I printed from word, open office, gimp, illustrator, chrome, adobe reader, and all of them worked fine, I am using it with a usb cable but because I need to test large heavy graphics, but the speed when printing wireless was as fast as usb for letter size documents. The drivers are current. No compatibility problems or popups.

Hi, What is your HP model? All the HP portable printers I see look quite large..

If you go to the HP website, you can download the driver, and printer software there for free. It would be better anyway, because you could get the newest driver for your operating system.

Give it up dude. I searched and searched for a printer that would work with ME and finally gave up and bought a new computer. I did find and purchase an older version HP printer that said it would work with ME on the box but HP had withdrawn the drivers from their website, so I took it back. Go buy a new computer. (ME never did anything but suck anyway.)

I have never used a chromebook but can see no reasona why this wouldn't work with a Chromebook. I have used them with mAC and windows computers without problems.

Thanks for responding! In spite of the lack of reviews, I've decided to give this printer a try ... I'll let you know how that choice turns out!

I have a C309g-m, which was cheaper and is a grotesque piece of garbage, in every way possible. I don't know anything about yours, so can't offer an opinion except to say I'll never buy an HP printer again. I had to get rid of a great Cannon printer that was perfect, but could not attach it to my new HP. Always a new rip off just around the corner. Good luck keeping that pig in ink.

First, you can't connect any printer to a Chrome Book or Base computer. You have to use a cloud printing platform. I have a new HP Envy 4502, and I set it up wireless and use Google Cloud Print. It took me about a half hour set it up to print via the Cloud.I have another printer, HP 240? for my old Windows HP computer. I had to work around and use a Chrome store app to set up that printer to work from the old HP Computer and the cloud. It was a PIA to get it done. But it works even with Win 10 using my Chrome Browser.
