    To install a printer, the most common method is to connect directly to your computer. This is known as a local printer.

    If your printer is a universal serial (USB) bus model, Windows should automatically detect and install it when you plug it in.

    1. Click to open devices and printers.

    2. Click Add a printer.

    3. In the Add Printer Wizard, click Add a local printer.

    4. Choose a printer port page, make sure you use a button existing port and the recommended printer port are selected and then click Next.

    5. On the installation of the printer driver page, select the model and manufacturer of the printer, and then click Next.

      • If your printer is not listed, click Windows Update, and then wait while Windows searches for drivers additional.

      • If none is available and you have the installation CD, click disk, and then navigate to the folder where the printer driver. (For additional guidance, see the printer manual.)

    6. Perform the steps in the wizard and then click Finish.

      Tips

      • You can print a test page to make sure that the printer is working correctly. See print a test page.

      • If you have installed the printer, but it does not work, check the Web site of the manufacturer for troubleshooting driver or updated information.

    My printer does not print.

    It is a difficult problem to diagnose because there are many printers on the market and many reasons why it could not work.

    First of all, make sure that your printer is turned on and connected to your Windows computer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Then, try the printer troubleshooter, which will attempt to diagnose and solve your problem automatically.

    Open the printer Troubleshooter

    Open the printer Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under hardware and sound, click on use printer.

    Then, try to update the printer driver on your computer. Sometimes printer problems come from out-of-date driver software, and can be solved by installing or reinstalling, the latest driver.

    To find the latest driver for your printer, first check Windows Update, which is designed to detect the hardware connected to your computer and automatically notify you when new drivers are available:

    1. Click to open Windows Update.

    2. In the left pane, click search for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

    3. If updates are found, click install updates. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    If you do not see a listed updated printer driver, it is always possible that there are: your printer manufacturer might not have provided to Microsoft yet.

    Most printer manufacturers offer updated drivers on the sections of the support of their Web sites. Drivers are typically organized by edition and Windows printing model. When you have found the right driver, install it according to the instructions of the manufacturer. For more information, see update a hardware driver that is not working properly.

    If your printer still does not work, see the support section of the website of the manufacturer of your printer for model-specific troubleshooting tips.

    Hello.

    I downloaded the latest drivers and tried all the usb ports on my laptop. However, the printer can not connect and does not 'online '. The USB ports are all working well.
    How can I change from 'online' to the ' offline '?
    It will be a case of the cable being spoilt?

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
     
    You may experience an error in offline mode, if you have activated the offline of your network printer. More recent printers come with a built-in button that activates the offline mode. If you have pressed this button, you printer goes offline. You can also face a printer offline error, if you do not connect the printer correctly. If you must check whether the cables and connectors you used to connect to the printer are firmly in place.

  • Canon printer MX410 constantly goes offline on Windows 8

    Hello

    My Lenova Ideapad Z580 constantly 'loses' the shared wireless printer.  The only solution I have is to uninstall the driver, and then reinstall the driver to 'find' it on the network again.  Any reboots causes this to happen, but is found also at random times when the laptop has not been turned off.  We even reset the printer and then re-installed on the network in the event that something had changed there.  None of the other laptops in our House (using various platforms) has this problem, so I have to assume that there is an error in Windows 8.
    I've had this laptop in April 2013, but this problem did not begin until July 2013, I think that an update may be the culprit.
    Is this a known problem and is there a fix permanent, that I can use?  Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Could not start the print job. Is available from the printer? Charge of CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit

    Hi all:

    I have a PC network. As part of their basic installation, I load on CS3. I started to integrate Windows 7 and found the following on each problem, but not on one of the XP.

    When my users try to print from Acrobat 8 that they receive the following message is displayed: "could not start the print job. I have a printer? ».

    This happens when trying to print to one of our printers, the printer HP designjet 1055. I have the drivers 32 bit and 64 bit installed on our print server.

    I read a post somewhere in program files common files could play up because there are 2 location of files of program on windows 7 - but I'm no more on this one here.

    I don't know there is a work around for this issue, recorded for the 101 others.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    CS3 has AA7 I think, maybe AA8. Compatibility Win7's AA9. Others may work, but the risk becomes yours. Adobe will tell you simply to upgrade. Several people have AA8 working most of the time. I think that a few may have succeeded with AA7, but I'm a little surprised.

    Hello

    Your printer has as USB connection:

    And not available to add accessories:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01987635

    Options

    (a) is your router wireless print server option? If so, connect the printer to the router using the USB port.

    (b) purchase a wireless USB print server, not much on the market today and the success rate is questionable (based on my tests).

    (c) use USB connect to Dell printer now and buy a new printer later.
