Connecting a printer

Printers can connect by Wi‑Fi or USB cable. Wi‑Fi is more convenient once it's set up.

Wi‑Fi printer (wireless):

1. Turn on the printer and make sure it's on the same Wi‑Fi network as your computer or phone.
2. On your computer: Settings → Devices → Printers → Add printer. Your printer should appear if it's on the same network.
3. On your phone: Open the document or photo, tap Share, then Print. Select your printer from the list.

USB printer (cable):

• Plug the USB cable into your computer and the printer. Turn on the printer.
• Your computer may install the driver automatically. If not, check the printer's manual or the manufacturer's website.

Printer not working?

• Check it's on — Power light should be on.
• Check paper and ink — Low ink or paper jams cause most problems.
• Restart both — Turn off the printer and your computer, wait 30 seconds, turn them back on.
• Same Wi‑Fi? — Phone, computer, and printer must be on the same network.
