Chromebooks won't work with scanners unless you have a web interface on it. That scanner does not. If you want to scan, you need to get a regular laptop that runs Windows, Linux or MAC OS. That particular scanner only has drivers for it up to Windows XP, it may not even work with the newer Vista, 7 or 8 operating systems.
