How to set up a new printer

Trying to get your new printer up and running? Here are the basic steps you’ll follow to set up almost any printer.

  1. Plug in the printer’s power cable and make sure it’s turned on.

   2. Connect the included cable (usually a USB cable) from the printer to the computer. Note: The process will be different if you’re using a wireless printer; we’ll talk more about that later on.

     3. On your computer, locate the Printer settings. If you’re using a Windows computer, you’ll find these in the Control Panel. If you’re using a Mac, you’ll find them in System Preferences.

    4. Look for the option to Add a printer, then follow the instructions that appear.

    5. A dialog box will appear. Locate and select the new printer from the list, then click Print.

  6. Now it’s time to try printing something! For example, you could try printing this test page. After you click the link, select File > Print from your web browser’s menu, or simply press Ctrl+P on your keyboard (or Command+P if you’re on a Mac).

Solutions to common problems

  • Problem: Nothing happens when you try to print. There are several reasons a printer might not work, even if everything’s connected properly. First, you’ll want to make sure you’ve put paper into the correct tray and there’s no paper stuck inside the printer
  • Problem: The printer has paper and nothing’s stuck, but it still won’t print. If the solutions above don’t work, try canceling the print job from the computer and trying again. Many printers also have a button you can use to restart the current job. If all else fails, try turning the printer off and on again to see if it fixes the problem.
  • Problem: The printer works, but the text is very light and difficult to read. If this happens, it probably means your printer requires a new ink cartridge to keep working. The instruction manual included with the printer should note what type of cartridge you’ll need to buy.
