So, the short version is that I'm trying to hook up my printer to my Acer Chromebook 15. Chromebooks are apparently notorious for being a bit crap with printing - and I'm pretty USELESS with technology anyway.

I found these instructions via Epson:

The PROBLEM is that they don't give you instruction for the Chrome operating system.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks in advance,
