Why is it so difficult to print from a Chromebook?

Traditionally, Chromebooks have relied exclusively on Google Cloud Print for all printing needs. The biggest problem there is that not all printers are Cloud Print ready, which can cause issues for anyone trying to print from a Chromebook.

How to connect your Chromebook to a network printer?

While Google Cloud Printing is no longer supported, Chromebooks are still capable of printing to network printers, even without the help of Google Cloud Print. To connect to a network printer, the printer needs to be on the same network as the Chromebook and reachable via IP address.

Can I use Chromebook Printing from my home printer?

Yes, you can easily release print jobs with direct IP printing to your home printer regardless of printer vendor.

InfinityCloud for Chromebook Printing

Even though Google Cloud Print Service was retired at the end of 2020, users still need to find an alternate way to easily print from the web using Google Chrome or Android devices. Cloud printing has always been a convenient service, as it works both on desktop and mobile and provides extended utility to older printers.

UniPrint InfinityCloud is a cloud printing service that offers a secure cloud printer management platform which adds value through migrating print servers and print management to the cloud.

The cloud print management platform removes the need for costly print servers and allows administrators simplified central management of direct IP printing for Windows, while significantly improving end users overall printing experience.

With UniPrint InfinityCloud, all printers and their printer data are migrated from your print servers to the Cloud. After a Chromebook user downloads and installs the UniPrint Cloud extension onto their workstations, it will automatically retrieve all the appropriate printer drivers for their IP printers from the InfinityCloud platform.

The end user can then either print directly to the Gateway Printer or use the InfinityCloud Secure Release feature to print to the queue and release the job at the printer.
