    Need to try but suspect if the printer has an IP address you can reach it will work.

    Printers which are cloud ready printers are compatible with chromebook 15.

    Set up your printer with Google Cloud Print

     

    To print over Wi-Fi from your computer, or to quickly share your printer with others, you can connect your printer to Google Cloud Print.

    You’ll need:

    •             A printer that connects to Wi-Fi

    •             A computer with the Chrome browser installed. Learn how to install Chrome.

     

    Step 1: Connect to Wi-Fi

     

    1.            Turn on your printer.

    2.            Connect it to your Wi-Fi network. If you’re not sure how, follow your printer manufacturer’s instructions.

    3.            Turn on your computer.

    4.            Connect your computer to the same Wi-Fi network as your printer.

     

    Step 2: Figure out if your printer is cloud-ready

     

    Go to the cloud-ready printers page and search for your printer manufacturer and model.

    •             If your printer name has "v2" next to it, your printer is cloud-ready (version 2.0).

    •             If your printer name doesn’t have a "v2," your printer is cloud-ready (version 1.0).

    •             If your printer is not listed, your printer is not cloud-ready. But if it can connect to Wi-Fi, you can set it up with Google Cloud Print.

     

    Step 3: Connect your printer to Google Cloud Print

     

    Connect a cloud-ready printer (2.0)

    1.            On your computer, open Chrome  .

    2.            Type chrome://devices and press Enter.

    3.            Under "New devices," find your printer.

    4.            Next to your printer, click Manage.

    5.            In the "Confirm registration" box that appears, click Register.

    6.            On your printer screen, follow the steps to finish registering. You might have to press a button that says Register or OK.

    7.            To check if your printer is registered, on your computer, go to google.com/cloud print and click Printers.

     

    Tip: To let someone else print from this printer, you’ll need to share the printer with them. Learn how to share your printer.

    Connect a cloud-ready printer (1.0)

     

    1.            On your computer, open the Cloud-ready printers page.

    2.            Click your printer manufacturer.

    3.            At the bottom of the section, click the link to go to your manufacturer’s help website.

    4.            Follow your manufacturer’s steps to set up your printer.
