How to set up and install a printer properly

Firstly, plug the power cable into the stable electric power source. And turn on the printer.

Connect the printer to your PC via USB cable insertion.

Now you have to go to the control panel.

Now select the Devices and Printers option.

Now click on Add a printer.

There will be a dialog box. Click Print after locating and choosing the new printer from the list.

If you do not find any device in this box, select “The printer that I want isn’t listed.”

Now select “Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings.”

You will be prompted for the printer port on the following page. Then choose “Create a new port” in this situation, and then choose “Standard TCP/IP Port.”

Next, you should put the printer’s IP address on the port number.

Now you can see a page for selecting a TCP/IP port. You have to wait for some time. You can not show any device, but don’t be tense. Then you have to select next.

Click “Settings” after selecting “Custom.”

Put the IP address on the box. But you have to remind me that the IP should be the same subnet mask.

Then you have to set the protocol as LPR. A variety of printing languages are supported by the two protocols. If you can’t print from one of them, erase it and try again.

Now, select the printer model. Then click next.

After that, you’ll be prompted to choose between using an existing driver and installing a new one. This only occurs if you’ve previously used a printer driver. I’m assuming you’ve already installed it. Decide to replace.

Now you have to put the printer’s name.

Then Click on “do not share this printer”.

We are now at the finishing. Set this printer as default by ticking the selection “Set as the default printer” or not. Also if you want to do the Print test, just press the button “Print a test page”.
