“I have lots of employees who use a Chromebook or Pixlebook and are unable to scan documents with most of the printers/scanners we currently have. Can this printer scan and print wirelessly by sending the scanned document to the users email?”

Yes it can. HP printers have an embedded web server. You'll need to use the printers menu to find your network settings, and specifically the IP address. Once you have the IP address of your HP printer, launch Google Chrome on your Chromebook and type that IP address into the URL address field. You'll see the main menu for your printer. Select the Scan tab. Under Webscan, if you've never used this feature before, you will likely see an error message that the feature has been disabled. If this is the case, select the Settings tab. Then, in the left menu under Security, select Administrator Settings. Select the checkbox to enable the Webscan feature. Select Apply when you're done. Now, when you return to the Scan tab, you'll see the scan settings where you can adjust the output document type, resolution, quality, and other settings. Select Start Scan to have your printer scan the document you've placed on the scanner bed.This will open a new tab in your browser where you'll see the image of the scan appear. When the scan is finished, you can right-click the image and select Save image as to save it to your Chromebook or Google Drive account.
