Ok, well I'm new to the google chromebook family. I bought my chromebook about a month ago and I have been enjoying it ever since. All I have is a chromebook, well I bought a google cloud ready printer today and I need help trying to connect it to my computer. I bought a Brother MFC-J475DW and yes it is a google cloud printer. Well the problem is I have set up the printer and everything and followed the manual instructions but I cant figure it out how to connect it to my chromebook. The printer is already connected to wifi and I have followed a URL to enter a pin number through the printer and set up with my name and the pin code if i want one. But anyway the printer is ready and set. But how do I connect it to my chromebook???? I need it bad to print out some documents for college and I cant figure it out.I have already gone to settings -> show advance settings -> google cloud print and i click on manage to see if my printer is available to use and nothing is there??? So how do i get my printer to show up on my chromebook so I can use it. I dont have another computer in my house, but I dont need it for what I have heard because I have a google cloud printer so thats not the issue. So PLEASE anyone can help me step by step who knows what to do through my chromebook for that Brother printer to show and I can start typing my google docs for school, Thanks and hopefully someone can help!!!!!!

When you go to www.google.com/cloudprint do you see your printer? What is user account are logged in with?
When you login to your Chromebook do you use the same account? What do you see in Print Dialog (Ctrl-P) when you click "Change..." button next to the printer? Printer is registered per account, so if you use different account to login, guest mode or incognito windows, it will not be able to find you account and your printer..
