How can you add a new single native printer in Chrome OS?

Environment

  • Chrome OS

Solution

  1. In your Admin console.
  2. Go to Devices > Chrome.

  4. Select the organizational unit or group to which you want to add the printer.
  5. At the bottom right, select Add > Add a printer.
  6. Enter the printer details.
    Note: Some printers might need a queue name defined in the path, as well as the host address and port in the URI. For example, ipps://192.0.2.255/ipp/print. Contact your manufacturer for the correct path.
    • Protocol: ipps
    • Host: 192.0.2.255
    • Port: 631
    • Path: ipp/print

    You do not have to enter a printer make and model. The printer provides all the details to the device.
  8. Click Add Printer.
