Brother and Samsung are the printer brands I have been investigating, but all the reviews speak of chromebooks that will not work with that brand. Some work, some do not. I'm looking for a combo that someone has proven will work.
All the seller descriptions tell you how easy it is to connect the chromebook and printer, but many reviewers say not.
The unfortunate thing with Chromebook and printers is that Google decided to accomplish printing a different way.
The key is if the printer is Google Cloud Print compatible. The brands of printers that have done this fairly well are HP and Epson. If the printer is listed as Google Cloud Print Ready then it will connect to any Chromebook that also runs the Google Cloud Print service. The biggest problem people have is configuring the service correctly.
This is a you tube showing basic setup for the cloud service.
