Install a Printer Driver on Windows 10/11 (USB & Wi-Fi) — Fast Method

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

  1. Identify the exact printer model from the label.
  2. Connect via USB directly; power on the printer.
  3. Windows > Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Add device.
  4. If not found, download the model driver from the vendor site and install it.
  5. 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
