Connecting a Printer to a Windows Computer

Step 1: Click on the Start button, and then click on Devices
             and Printers.


Step 2In the Devices and Printers window, click on the Add a printer button.


Step 3In the Add Printer wizard, click on the option Add a network, wireless,
            or Bluetooth printer.



Windows will display a list of available printers.

Step 4Select a printer from the list, or click on the option The printer that I 
             want isn't listed to find the desired printer.
            (To find a printer, proceed to step 5.)




Step 5To find a printer not on the list, perform the following:

·        Select the option Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname, and then click on the Next button. (Note: Consult the printer list to find your printer's IP address.)


·        Enter the IP address in the Hostname or IP address text area. (As you type the address, Windows also adds the address automatically to the Port name text area, as shown in the example below.)


·        Install the driver for your printer by selecting the printer's manufacturer from the Manufacturer and then the model number. (If the model number of your printer isn't listed, click on the Windows Update button to list additional printer models.)


·        Click on the Next button.

Step 6Enter a descriptive name for your printer in the Printer name text area
             or leave the name that is already filled in, then click on the Next
             button. (In the example below, "Xerox WorkCentre 7345 PCL6" has
             been entered for the printer name.)



                Note: You can change the printer name at any time.

            You should see the following window showing that Windows 7 has
            started the process of installing the printer:




Step 7In the next window, make sure the option Do not share this printer is
             selected, and then click on the Next button.



                If the printer was added successfully, you should see the following
                window:



Step 8In the message window shown in step 7, click on the Print a test page
             button if you want to print a test page to verify you can print with the
             printer, and then click on the Finish button.


Step 9You can view the new printer listing by clicking again on the Start 
             button, and then clicking again on Devices and Printers. You should
             see the entry for your printer. (In the example below, "Xerox
             WorkCentre 7345 PCL6" has been added.)
