How do I scan and print with a Chromebook?
One of the most common printer manufacturers in the market is Hewlett Packard. Most HP printers include a feature called Embedded Web Server (EWS). You can scan any document on Chromebook using HP’s Embedded Web Server (EWS). Here’s how.
Before you can use EWS on your Chromebook, you’ll need to find your printer’s IP address. The easiest way to do this is through the printer’s built-in menu, under Preferences > Options > Wireless Settings (if it’s a wireless printer). You may also see an option to Show wireless details to view the IP address.
Once you have the IP address of your HP printer, launch Google Chrome on your Chromebook and type that IP address into the URL address field. You will see the main menu for your printer.
