    Is it a networked printer?
    To use Google Cloud Print, register your printer with Google Cloud Print. Make sure you have a network printer connected to the same wired (Ethernet) or wireless network with an active Internet connection as your Chromebook. Click the Chrome menu icon , then select Settings from the drop-down menu.

    Maybe because it's not (officially) supported.
