How to add a printer

I need to add a new printer to my computer.

The printer you want to use doesn't appear in your printer list yet, or you have a new network printer to connect.

Add the printer through Windows Settings - Windows can usually detect it automatically, or you can add it manually by network address.

1. 1Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.
2. 2Click "Add device" and wait for Windows to search for nearby printers.
3. 3If your printer appears in the list, click Add device next to it and follow the prompts.
4. 4If it doesn't appear, click "Add manually" and choose the option to add a network, wireless, or Bluetooth printer.
5. 5Enter the printer's IP address or hostname if prompted - ask IT if you don't know it.
6. 6Once added, select the printer, click Manage, and print a test page to confirm it works.
7. 7Contact IT if the printer still doesn't appear or the test page fails to print.
