For a wired printer in most cases, all you have to do to set up a printer is to connect it to your PC. Simply plug the USB cable from your printer into an available USB port on your PC, and turn the printer on.
For a network printer, If your printer is on and connected to the network, Windows should find it automatically.
- Select the Start button, then select Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners.
Open Printers & scanners settings - Select Add a printer or scanner. Wait for it to find nearby printers, then choose the one you want to use, and select Add device.
If your printer isn’t in the list, select The printer that I want isn’t listed, and then follow the instructions to add it manually using one of the options.
