If your product does not have native Chrome OS support, you may be able to work with a printing partner to use your printer with Chrome OS.
Click the Status Tray in the bottom right corner of your Chromebook Shelf (the clock area) to open the menu.
Select Settings (the gear icon) in the menu to open the Settings Menu.
Select Advanced, either from the side menu of the settings screen, or by scrolling to the bottom and clicking it.
Scroll to the Print and Scan section and select Printers.
Select 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 a screen, it is easiest to follow the instructions with your printer to make the connection via its operation panel.
If you are still having difficulty getting the printer on your network, or your model does not have an LCD, we recommend Canon PRINT Inkjet / SELPHY on your iOS or Android device to complete setup.
After you have selected Set up, you will see your printer added to the saved printers list.
Your printer is set up and ready to go.
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.
If you do not see the printer in the dropdown, click See more... to Select a destination, and choose your printer.
Once you have your printer as the destination, just adjust your other settings as needed, and select Print.
Chrome OS 89 or later required for scanning.
Go to the Print and scan section in the Advanced Settings, and select Scan to open the scan interface.
Confirm your Canon device is the selected scanner, adjust any other settings as needed, and select 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, such as .JPG or .PDF.
After the scan is completed, choose to open the folder containing the scanned image, edit it via software on your Chromebook, or select Done to exit.
To remove a printer from your device, go to Settings and from the Print and scan menu, select Printers.
Click the 3 dots next to the printer you want to remove, and select Remove from the dropdown.
It is strongly recommended that only advanced users manually edit their printer information.
Navigate to the saved printers list: Settings > Print and Scan > Printers
Click the 3 dots next to the printer.
Choose Edit.
Change the printer name or other settings, then select Save.
