Also, set up the printer with ink and paper according to the directions that came with the printer.<\/p>\n Frequent question, can I connect a new printer to an old<\/strong> computer? One way to connect<\/strong> a printer to your PC is by USB cable, which makes it a local printer<\/strong>.

Turn off the router and the printer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first and then printer. Sometimes, turning off devices and then turning them back on helps resolve network communication issues.<\/p>\n Connect the printer end of the USB cable to the USB port on the side of the printer. *The location of the USB port differs depending on your printer. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on the computer. Turn on the printer by pressing the Power button.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On your client computer, open the Devices and Printers by pressing the windows key and go to Control Panel then Devices and Printers. Right-click the printer you want to manually enable and click Printer Properties.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Restart All Your Devices A restart helps fix any software glitches that could cause your wireless printer and connected devices not to work properly together. The wireless printer, router, computer\/other device, wireless access point and modem all rely on your home or office network in order to connect to the internet.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n A wireless printer connects to your laptop either through a technology called Bluetooth, which requires devices to be next to each other or, if you have access to a wireless network, using Wi-Fi (available to devices within 50 to 100 feet or so).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Click “Start,” \u201cDevices and Printers,\u201d and select the printer.

USB001 is the default printer port for USB printers and is the first port Windows selects when connecting a printer via the operating system’s Devices and Printers “Add a Printer” utility.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The USB cable used for printers is called a USB AB cable, named for the plugs on each end. The USB-A end is a flat, rectangular plug; the USB-B end is a square plug with two curved edges, which goes into the printer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Any USB cable that has the standard connectors will work with any USB printer. This is important to know because printer manufacturers rarely include a USB cable with the printer itself.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You don’t need to go hunting for a USB cable to connect to a printer, and you don’t need a printer for every PC. As office equipment goes, printing is supposed to be easy. While wireless printing may not be as simple as plug it in, power it on, and print, it’s still a pretty straightforward process.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To use a printer with your laptop, you must first set it up.
