PIXMA G3200 won't connect to HP Chromebook

JMJorich — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 15:15:49 GMT

I just took everything out of the box, set it up and filled the ink. Trying to connect to wi fi. I get a message that it cannot connect to the operating system. I have an HP Chromebook. Am I out of luck?

Hi there!

Which printer do you have?

Pixma G3200 I found where I should download the Canon Print app. Yes? No?

Thank you for answering.

Do the specs for the printer say that it is Chromebook-compatible? Is there a driver that specifically says it is for Chromebook?

I wouldn't even know where to look to find that out.

On the box it came in.

On Canon Support for the printer.

In whatever materials came with the printer.

A web search for your printer + compatibility with Chromebook.

Thank you for your time. I just spoke with Canon Customer Support who did confirm that this printer is not compatible with that printer. He was kind enough to send me a list of printers that will work with my computer. He also informed me to check the "Product Specifications" tab on websites as well. I'm usually much more diligent.
