Chromebook to pixma mg 5420

[brianlas24]

I just purchased a Chromebook and cannot seem to connect it to my MG5420.

I tried adding printer, but it is not found.  I can select a printer, but thre is no choice for a MG5420 (or anything close), I have tried a USB cable, I have tried cloud printing through a different computer connected to the same network.

Anyone any thoughts?

Thanks, I have tried all of these and have not had any luck.  When I go to connect, it cannot find the printer from the list and I cannot find a PPD file.

Greetings,

Are you sure this printer is supported?
