Connecting
your computer to a printer has become easier than ever as we progress into the
age of innovative technology, but it seems as though the number, colors, sizes,
and complexity of all the wiring can get lost in translation. Even when you
think you’ve got the hang of connecting point A to point B, it takes a lot more
than merely plugging in and out to deliver the right results.
In
our digital age, printing comes in two forms - wired
and wireless. We’ll walk you through how to connect a printer to your
computer, laptop, or handheld device.
Let’s get started
First
and foremost, make sure you’ve properly removed the printer from its box with
all included pieces for swift and organized assembly. It is easy to rush
through the simplest part blinded by excitement and haste, and even easier to
skip the most basic of steps.
Once
you’ve got all the pieces of the puzzle laid out and ready for configuration,
plug the double-pronged end of the power cable into a conveniently located
outlet. Your printer may automatically turn on or you may need to press a power
button to wake the machine up. This is where we come in.
How to connect a printer to WiFi
This step can be one of the three alternatives
below:
1.
Connect
your wireless printer to your home network by entering your network’s name,
known as SSID and the password in the configuration options (this will only
work if your printer has a screen and buttons on it). Select your wireless
connection and then go through the setup wizard. If you have a security
password set up on the router, it will ask you to enter the password. Once you
have entered all the details your printer will begin to connect.
2.
Connect
your wireless printer
to your home network by clicking on the WPS button on your printer and router.
You will then have to press the WPS button on your router to discover new
devices, then push the WPS button on the printer. This will automatically
detect and connect to your wireless network.
The final method is using an
Ethernet cable. Your printer will have an IP address which you can find on the
routers web admin page. Enter your IP address into a web browser so you can
visit the web interface. Then look for a section called Wireless LAN, enter the
name, password and other details needed for your wireless network. Note that
some wireless printer models will offer you the same settings directly in their
driver installation software and if that is the case for you then you are able
to use the software to automatically detect if your printer is connected to the
home network as well as configuring it to connect to the wireless network.
