Canon Pixma TR4720 setup on Chromebook

reg00000 — Fri, 16 Jun 2023 16:14:00 GMT

It says this printer is compatible with Chromebooks. When I try to set it up and select Canon as the brand the model does not show. No Pixma models show. What do I select for a model?

I am running Version 113.0.5672.134 (Official Build) (64-bit) and it is a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5.

That doesn't answer my question. It wants to know the model and mine isn't listed. It says "Canon TR4700 series" and when I click "Setup" it wants the model. The printer was already setup using a Windows machine.

Hi,

The printer would be listed by the series and not the model number. If the printer is detected but your Chromebook wont allow you to add the printer until you select the model, then you will need to reach out to Google support.

There is no driver or software to install so when connecting to a Chromebook you are relying on the built in print system that your Chromebook is running. Once the printer is detected as TR4700 series, it should just allow you to add it and print from there. If this is not the case then as I mentioned above, you will need to reach out to Google support.
