Chromebook Overview

Chromebooks have increased in popularity in many environments over the years. PrinterLogic created the Chrome OS Client to work with these highly mobile devices. Chromebooks must be managed by the organization through Google Admin Console for the Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Client to work.

For steps to install the ChromeOS Client, reference ChromeOS tab in the Install the Client & Web Extension topic.

Secure Release Printing

The Chromebook client extension allows for features like Secure Release Print.

Printer Deployments

With the addition of Chromebook support came additional PrinterLogic deployment options. Due to the uniqueness of the Chromebook, there are some changes to how deployments are made. The deployment options and support for Chromebooks are listed below:

  • Active Directory User / Groups
  • IdP Users / Groups
  • IP Address Range
  • Chromebook Serial Number
  • Chromebook Asset ID
  • Advanced Groups

Currently, hostname and MAC address deployments for Chromebooks are not supported.

Reference Printer Deployment for more information.

Using the Chrome OS Client

The Chrome OS Client is only compatible with Google Identity service. It will not work with other IdPs.

Using the Chrome OS Client is straight forward and simple for end-users printing from their Chromebooks. This simplicity requires very little familiarization by the end-user to be printing in a very short amount of time. Reference The use of the Chrome OS Client.
