Add a New Printer in Windows 10

Hello and welcome to another episode of C Sharp Corner videos

My name is Mahesh Chand. I'm founder of C Sharp Corner. In this video we are going to see how to set up a printer on Windows 10

I just bought a new printer. Before you set up a printer, you need to make sure that your printer is connected to your

wireless and it's on Wi-Fi, available on Wi-Fi. So let's do it

So I do is Windows S, or you can click on here

and pretty much search printers. When you search printers here, you will see printers and scanners in system settings

You can just go here. And on this printers and scanner screen, you will see

there's an option to add a printer. If you have existing printers, you will also see them listed here

So let's start, you know, add a new printer. And if your printer is on Wi-Fi, you will see that after refresh or scanning, you will see that your printer is listed here

If it's not listed here, that means something wrong with your Wi-Fi

So as soon as you see your printer here, you can select that printer and say add device

Once you do that what Windows is doing is setting up your printer installing drivers or anything it needs Sometimes you need to get printer from a driver from the internet usually Windows 10 does a good job in that

so once you set this printer and if you have multiple printers here you want to make

sure this printer is default set as a default right now there's if it's only one

printer here Windows will set this as default there's also an option here says

let Windows manage my default printer so it will figure it out but if you don't want to do that

and you go here you can pretty much set default printers whatever you want so if I click

here say there's option here open queue manage and remove device you want to remove this printer

you can remove from here but if you want to make sure this is the default printer you click

here and you just set as default once you set you set

this as default now this is every time you print this printer will be printing

the default printer you can print a test page here you can also see if any

problems here just in case right now there should be no problems you can set up

your printer properties here printer preferences so for example printer properties you this opens properties and that's where you can set up everything

about like what kind of page settings you want all these from here

That's all. Thank you
