Printer setup is the process of connecting a printer, adding it to the operating system and checking that it can print.
Setup instructions, reference material, and troubleshooting.
Should I choose USB or network printer instructions?
Choose the connection the printer actually uses. For USB, check the cable and power. For a network printer, identify the printer and the network it is connected to. Adding another queue for the same device can make it harder to tell which printer an application selected.
How do I confirm the printer is ready?
Print a test page, then try a document from the application you need. If the test page works but the document does not, investigate the application's printer selection and settings. If neither prints, use the queue and troubleshooting guides.
