My Chromebook will not let me install software via google play; so how do I install to a Chromebook?

The instructions for installing my printer software says I need to do so via Google Play. However this does not work on a Chromebook, which is what I have. Chromebook tech support says I cannot download apps from google play, only google chrome store. However, the printer in question is on the chromebook list of being usable with the chromebook. (pixma MG5520) So. . . the question is. . . . how do I install it. . . .there must be a way.

Hi booknest2,
The PIXMA MG5520 is set up a little differently when using it with a Chromebook than other Android devices. First, let's set it up on your network:
1. Go to the Home menu or press the Home button.
2. Use the arrow keys until Wireless LAN Setup appears and select this option.
3. If a 'WPS' prompt appears, press STOP.
4. Select the Standard Setup option.
5. Follow the remaining prompts on the printer menu to connect the unit.
Once your PIXMA MG5520 is connected to your netowrk, please set it up for Google Cloud Printing. You can do that by following this link:
Setting up Google Cloud Printing
Once set up, if you are getting a "Printer Offline" error, please disable the ECP settings on your PIXMA MG5520 by following these steps:
1. Turn your PIXMA MG5520 on.
2. Select ECO Settings from the HOME screen.
3. Using the up and down buttons, select an item. Using the left or right button, choose OFF or Disable for all the items in this menu.
Once set, please attempt to use Google Cloud Print.
Hope this helps!

  • HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.

  • HT5621 I changed my Apple ID, but it will not let me change it on my phone. How do I change it on my phone. I alreadt tried to delete the account but to do that I need to put in my password, but it wont work because its the wrong email.

    I am trying to change my Apple ID under icloud on my phone, but it will not let me do it, I have already tried to delete the account, but I cannot do that becuase it wants me to put in a password that I do not have. What can I d0? I am also going next week to pick up my new phone so I need to fix it soon.

    Hello there, hcheslynn.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great resource for what to do next after changing your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Particularly for your case:
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    If you still get prompted for your old Apple ID's password, the following article provides some additional troubleshooting steps:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

  • My ipod screen shows not enough storage message but it will not let me close or go to settings.  How do I get this message off to get to my settings to get to the icloud setting?

  • My IPod touch is new and yet it will not let me get on my downloaded items. How do I fix that?

    My Ipod is brand new but whenever i go to get on my downloads it will not let me on the screen just goes back to my home page. How do i fix this??

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My imac will not let me access my bank web page.  How can I fix this?  It did until about a week ago.

    I cannot open the web page for my bank using Safari, Firefox, Googl, or Yahoo.  I can see others have had this problem, what is the fix?  I have reset Safari and made sure cookies are accepted and that did not fix the problem.  The bank assures me its the computer.  Problem with that is that other banks open fine, just not the one I'm trying to open.

    I would update. You need the update for apps.

  • TS1538 I have a 1st generation iPod touch.  It will not let me connect to the iTunes store.  How can I fix this?

    We were given this iPod touch from a friend.  Here is what I have done so far.  Reset it back to factor settings.  Added my music.  Set up the wifi through my home internet.  And it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to iTunes.  Don't know what else to do.  Have tried to look on this community for answers and haven't found ones that I haven't tried yet.  I did see somewhere where there was an update for the iPod touch.  It was 4.95 on the iTunes store.  Wondered if that might help.  Don't want to pay for something that won't work.  Thanks!

  • My firefox will not let me go to facebook, google search or youtube. been this way for about six weeks. have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. any ideas?

    I still cannot get to Google to search. This problem exists and has NOT been fixed.
    I still cannot get to Facebook. This problem exists and has NOT been fixed.
    I still cannot get to YouTube. This problem exists and has NOT been fixed.
    I still cannot use Firefox with confidence. At first the problem showed up as invalid security certificates at each and every site I tried to go to, even the Mozilla site for support. I had the Geek squad to work on my laptop and they determined that it had been infected by ad ware with a virus that was redirecting every site that I was going to. to their site, and that was the source of the invalid certificates.
    But even after they removed the ad ware, I still have the issues with Firefox. I have been a Firefox user since the days of Netscape 1.0. It has always been my preferred browser. I hope the issues can be resolved.
    I have just reinstalled Firefox in an attempt to use it for the problems listed above. This has not helped.
    Any suggestions?

  • Iphone will not let me select music via genres in itunes

  • I continually have problems when browsing with Google yahoo simply grabs my search and will not let me go back to google. I have tried everything I can think of

    This happens on my macbook pro and my I mack. Also on my PC but only on firefox.

    Hi TheJohnParr, for your Thunderbird (email client) issue, I suggest having a different question for that, and we could focus on your Firefox search engine issue in this thread.
    You can review, disable, and usually remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a
    * Tools menu > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    By the way, the address bar works a bit different from the search boxes (home page search box or toolbar search box). If you enter a single word without spaces in the address bar (e.g., hobbit or mozilla.org) then Firefox will first check with your service provider on whether it is a known server name. Sometimes these queries are hijacked by your service provider to show you search results. By comparing your search in the address bar and the search box, you can see whether this is the issue.
