Many people are choosing to switch to Chromebooks. Maybe you even got one over the holidays. There have been questions about how to print from Chromebooks to Xerox printers. We will take a look at the steps for printing from Chromebooks, it is really pretty easy.
What Are Chromebooks?
If you are not familiar with Chromebooks here is a brief explanation from our online knowledgebase. “Chromebooks are lightweight computers based on Google’s Chrome OS. They include a range of productivity cloud apps for knowledge workers, such as Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and more, without the need to purchase additional software.
The lightweight, simplified IT management makes Chromebooks popular and well suited to the education market, among others.”
As a Chromebook owner printing can be a challenge if you don’t have a compatible printer. Xerox has a broad range of compatible printers and MFPs that support the basic need to print over a local network.
