Chromebook Can It Print A Gmail

How easy is it to set up a regular printer to a chromebook to print of an Email from Gmail , I understand you can print from cloud but does a chromebook recognise a printer when you plug printer into usb port thats if chromebook does have a usb port, thankyou in advance

You can't connect a USB printer to a Chromebook.

If you install Linux on it you might be able to, I've not tried.

Don't even try, you can only print via cloud printing, either meaning via a USB printer connected to a PC, or a cloud-friendly printer

Theoretically, ChomeOS is a hacked version of Gentoo Linux. There are tutorials (never tried it myself) to convert the Chromebook into a full fledged Gentoo, in that case you could install CUPS, but I wouldn't vouch for it.

Some printers have built-in wireless, or they can be connected to a home router as well.

Yes but getting one to actually work is another matter. I've long given up trying to print from a chrome book.
