Label: Driver install
Summary:
A reliable method: install via USB first, then switch to Wi-Fi. Remove old/conflicting drivers if needed.
What You Need
- Exact model name/number
- Internet connection for driver download
- Admin rights on Windows
- Original USB cable
- Stable Wi-Fi (optional)
Quick Steps
- Identify the exact printer model from the label.
- Connect via USB directly; power on the printer.
- Windows > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Add device.
- If not found, download the model driver from the vendor site and install it.
- After USB works, enable wireless in the printer software and print a test page.
Short Diagnosis / Tips
If detection fails, uninstall old drivers (Control Panel > Programs) and retry.
USB-first setup is more reliable; add Wi-Fi after.
If network discovery fails, reboot router & printer; try a Standard TCP/IP port with a static IP.
Notes / Variations
Windows Update may install basic drivers; the vendor package is safer if issues persist.
Parts you might need
- USB Type-A to Type-B (most lasers) or USB-C as required
- Vendor driver package
