Google Chromebook Screenshots

Now that I have mastered how to print with the Google Chromebook, the next task was how to get screenshots.  I use that feature very frequently.  The function keys are not marked with an F number on the Chromebook.  Instead there are icons.  F5 is the fifth key to the right of the escape key.  The F5 function key looks like the image below.

 

To capture an entire window, click the Ctrl + F5 key above.  A window will open on the bottom right stating that a screenshot was taken and click to view.

To capture a part of a window, click the Ctrl + Shift + F5.  The cross-hair was appear.  Drag to capture the part of the screen you want to capture.  Once again, a window will open verifying the capture and the option to view.

Printing with the Google Chromebook

I am still adjusting to the Google Chromebook, which used the Chrome web browser.  How to print?  There is no way to connect except using Wifi.  I had set up the print function for Chrome last February, but had to go back and review the procedure. 

• Click the customize and control button on the top right of the window (looks like a sheet of paper with horizontal lines).
• Click on Settings in the drop-down menu.
• Scroll down to the bottom of the window to select Show advanced settings.
• Scroll down and click Open Google Cloud Print.
• You should be able to see your printer

When you open the Cloud Print window there is a large red rectangular button with the words PRINT.  Click on the button and upload a file to print.  After you have selected the file, you will see three options:  Your printer; print to FedEx Office; and Save to Google Drive.
