Most configurations on the Chromebooks are managed within the G-Suite domain of the user's account (which is controlled by each school). However, some configurations are managed within the desalesmedia.org G-Suite domain, for example the printer configurations.
Chromebooks communicate with printers using a different language than Windows or Mac computers; not every printer will support printing from Chromebooks. However, most printers manufactured in the past few years will support them. Configuring a printer isn't always a straight forward process and it typically involves some trial and error, so if you need to be able to print by a certain date, be sure to plan as much in advance as possible. Please send an email to chromebooks@desalesmedia.org with the following info and we will do everything we can to help you:
- The name you would like to assign the printer and optionally a description
- Manufacturer and model number
- IP address of the printer (e.g. 192.168.1.75)
- If you know the protocol (IPP, IPPS, LPD, HTTP, etc.) supported by your printer
