Printing

Cloud Printing is exactly what it is sounds like, the ability to print documents wirelessly from your mobile device. Chromebooks can print through the cloud or via USB (but you will need to download the HP Printer App from web store for this option). While it is convenient to print, our goal as a G Suite School is learning to collaborate through the cloud and sharing documents. Print only if necessary.

At School

We have set up some printers that are capable "Google Cloud Printing." Not every printer in the building is set up for this purpose.

At Home

It is unlikely that you will be able to connect your Chromebook to your at-home printer directly, unless you bought a printer specifically labeled "Google Cloud Printer."

Other options:

  • Simply use your at-home computer. Just log into your school Google Apps account on any browser and find your document inside your Google Drive. Then print it, like you print other documents from your at-home computer. That's one of the great things about Google Docs--- they're available on any computer connected to the internet!
  • Or setup your home printer to be a cloud printer. Follow Google's Cloud Printing instruction and can print wirelessly at home as well.
