How To install or add a local printer


Click to open Devices and Printers.

Click Add a printer.

In the Add Printer wizard, click Add a local printer.

On the Choose a printer port page, make sure that the Use an existing port button and the recommended printer port are selected, and then click Next.

On the Install the printer driver page, select the printer manufacturer and model, and then click Next.

If your printer isn't listed, click Windows Update, and then wait while Windows checks for additional drivers.

If none are available and you have the installation CD, click Have Disk, and then browse to the folder where the printer driver is located. (For additional help, consult the printer manual.)

Complete the additional steps in the wizard, and then click Finish.

Tips
You can print a test page to make sure the printer is working correctly. See Print a test page.

If you've installed the printer but it doesn't work, check the manufacturer's website for troubleshooting information or driver updates. For more information, see Why can't I print?

Network printers
In the workplace, many printers are network printers. These connect directly to a network as a stand-alone device. Inexpensive network printers are also made for the home. To learn more, see Install a printer on a home network.
