Install a printer
- Answer
-
The most common way to install a printer is to connect it directly to your computer. This is known as a local printer.
If your printer is a universal serial bus (USB) model, Windows should automatically detect it and begin installation when you plug it in.
If you're installing a wireless printer that connects to your computer over a wireless network (Wi‑Fi), you can use the Add a device wizard to install the printer. For instructions, see Connect to Bluetooth and other wireless or network devices.
If it's an older model that connects using the serial or parallel port, you might have to install it manually.
