Chromebook and Epson printer help please.

lily117

I wonder if anyone can help me please. I have an Asus Chromebook and just bought an Epson Expression Home XP-4105 wireless printer. It keeps prompting me on the screen to download the Epson Events Manager but when I try to do that it says not available for my OS. At a loss what to do next as totally unable to scan or even print from my chromebook. Many thanks.

If you succeed You maybe the first person in the world to successfully print from a chrome book!

Hmmm... perhaps then cups may be what is needed. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ipp-cups-printing-for-chr/lkhfeoafdgbaecajkdbioenncjopbpmk?hl=en-GB

Never used chromebooks but this may be useful

or EpsonConnect from the epson website (print via email I believe) https://www.epsonconnect.com/

Have managed to print, but not scan as yet.

I had the same problem. To scan just send doc to mobile and scan/print from printing App on phone

I've been trying to print from my new Lenovo Chromebook to an Epson printer for a whole week. Best solution I have found is to save the document to Google Drive then print from another device!
