How to Install a Printer on Your Computer?

The first step to install a printer on your computer is knowing your printer’s manufacturer and model. There should be a small metal tag on the back of your printer with the identifying details you’ll need; you can also look in your printer’s manual. You should know which computer operating system (OS) you’re using on your computer. You cross-reference your OS with the printer model to search on the Internet to find the manufacturer’s website. Look in the website’s subsection on drivers to find the newest one for your OS. Download the driver to your computer; the file should go into a folder named Drivers. Now it’s time to install your printer. If you have a Install disk or CD, put it in your computer’s drive. The Install program should start up right away; if not, look for a file named Install or Setup on the disk, and run it. Follow the instructions on the screen, which should end with a request for you to restart your computer -- do so. When your computer is back on, try printing a test page (if the instructions have not already told you to do so). The test page should show different-sized fonts and graphics -- if a color printer, a rainbow of color should also be printed. If you have no manual, no disk, or no instructions on how to install your printer on your computer, first, use the Internet to find and install a printer driver for your printer model. Then, plug one end of the USB cable provided with your printer to your computer, and the other end to your printer. Also, plug in the power cord for your printer, but do not turn on your printer. Plugging in the USB cable should start a ’Add New Hardware’ Wizard, or something similar, on your computer. Follow the instructions, which should help you to select the driver, whether on the Web or already on your computer. Turn on your printer. Your computer should then sense the presence of your printer and finish the install. Print a test page. You’re done!

How to Install a Printer?

When you install a printer on your computer, you are letting your operating system know that a specific kind of printer is hooked up. To install a printer, start by following the printer’s instruction manual to assemble and hook up the printer. Once you have done this you need to install the printer software. Go to the start menu, find settings, and choose printers. From you you will double click where it says Add Printers. This will open up a wizard called the Print Wizard. The Print Wizard will walk you through the steps of installing your printer. If it is a network printer, you should know its network path before completing the wizard. The wizard will ask you to insert the CD for your printer’s software. In some cases a pre-installed version of the software may already be available on the computer, although it could be outdated. The wizard will ask you if you want to use the new printer as your default printer. You should select this option only if this is the printer that you want your computer to use automatically when you choose to print a document. This means that if you want your computer to print from a different printer, you will need to select that option from the print menu whenever you print a document. If this is the only printer that you have installed on the computer than select that you would like for this printer to be the default printer. The wizard will then ask you if you would like to print out a test page. It is a good idea to do this. The test page will let you know if the printer is working properly. It will show you what the test page looks like on the screen. If it does not look like this when it prints out then there is a problem with the software. When you are satisfied with the set up of your new printer, click on the button that says finish at the bottom of the wizard. This will close the wizard and allow you to resume normal computer work. That is it, from this point forward your new printer should be working.


Connected two printers to one computer and when trying to print an error message says printer is not connected any idea what could be wrong?

Your computer will choose a default printer if you do not choose one for it. Check that the printer info was installed properly and that you can print a test page using right click, properties on the printer icon of choice. If you can manually print a test page then both printers were installed properly. If one does not print then you know who the culprit is. You will have to maunally choose or change the default printer depending on which one you want to print to. Make sure the printer driver is installed on both computers.
