Need to print from your Chromebook? These are your best options

Contrary to what you might hear, you can print from a Chromebook, but it's not as simple as you may think. Fortunately, that doesn't mean you'll be stuck never printing from your Chromebook, ever! With these printers, not only are they compatible in connecting to your Chromebook, but they require very little set up and allow you to print from your Chromebook no matter where you are.

Save time and frustration

Best for the office

Canon Office MAXIFY IB4120 Printer

Designed specifically for the office with its 500-paper capacity, the Canon Office IB4120 printer boasts of the freedom of working with multiple devices even beyond Google Cloud Print, such as AirPrint, Canon Print App, as well as Wi-Fi. Yet while designed for the office, you can still use it as a personal printer and change settings in a way that suits you — such as creating a password, setting paper restrictions, and keeping a record of what you have and haven't printed. The speed of 24 pages (for black and white) and 15.5 pages (color) per minute isn't anything to turn your nose up at either.

Having a Chromebook can be amazing, but it can also be difficult when some things weren't made with your device or Google Cloud Print in mind. Fortunately, these printers are compatible and are speedy, secure, have quality ink/toner, or all three. If we had to pick a favorite? We'd go for the Canon Office MAXIFY IB4120 Printer due to its personal features, as well as it being able to connect to multiple devices at once.
