Canon Printers Chromebook

If you are unsure if your printer supports Chromebook, check the list of supported models.

• Functions and features may vary by printer model.
• Please note that scanning requires Chrome OS 89 or later.
• To setup and use your printer with Chromebook, your printer must be on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Chromebook or connected with a USB cable.
• Actual screens may vary from those shown in this guide.

Setting Up Your Canon Printer On Your Chromebook

1. Click the Status Tray in the bottom right corner of your Chromebook Shelf (the clock area) to open the menu.
2. Select Settings (gear icon) in the menu to open the Settings Menu.
3. Select Advanced, either from the side menu of the settings screen, or by scrolling to the bottom and clicking it.
4. Scroll to the Print and Scan section and click on Printers.
5. Click Set up on the printer you are adding to your Chromebook.

Your Chromebook will detect printers connected via USB as well as WiFi printers already on the network. If your printer is not on your network but has an LCD, it is easiest to follow the instructions with your printer to make the connection via LCD. If you are still having difficulty getting the printer on your network, or your model does not have an LCD, we recommend using the Canon Print app on your smart device to complete setup.

After clicking Setup, you will see your printer added to the saved printers list.

Printing With Your Canon Printer and Chromebook

1. Access the print menu from the application you are using on your Chromebook.
   If this is the first time you are setting up a printer, the default Destination in the Print interface is often Save as PDF, and you will need to manually change it to your Canon printer.

2. If you do not see the printer in the dropdown, click See more… to Select a destination, and choose your printer.

3. Once you have your printer as the destination, just adjust your other settings as needed, and click Print.

Scanning With Your Canon Device and Chromebook

1. Go to the Print and scan section in Advanced Settings, and click Scan to open the scan interface.
   Chrome OS 89 or later is required for scanning.

2. Confirm your Canon device is the selected scanner, adjust any other settings as needed, and click Scan.
   Source options may vary based on your device’s capabilities (such as if it has a document feeder). You can choose between several file types for your scan output.

3. Once your scan is completed, you can choose to open the folder containing it, edit it via software on your Chromebook, or click Done to exit.

Removing a Printer from Your Chromebook

1. To remove a printer from your device, go to Settings and from the Print and scan menu, click Printers.
2. Click the 3 dots next to the printer you want to remove and select Remove from the dropdown.
