  2. On the left-hand menu, select Devices > Chrome > Apps and extensions > Users and browsers.
  3. In the Organizational units section, select the organizational unit where you want to deploy Printix.
  4. Optionally, if you want users to sign in with Windows, then on the right pane, scroll down to Policy for extensions and select Upload from file . Select the configuration file you created and select Open.
  5. Select Force installation.
  6. Select Save.

    Chromebooks are not listed in Printix Administrator, only computers running Printix Client.

Configuration file

If you want users to Sign in with Windows, a configuration file must be created and uploaded. If no configuration file is uploaded, users will still have single sign-on (SSO) to Printix with their Google Workspace account. The configuration file must be in JSON format and should be saved as a .txt file.
