How to add a printer in the Win7 system Diagram tutorial

Operation steps
For newly purchased printers, there are drive CDs, so we will not repeat how to install a new printer here. Here we describe how to install an earlier model printer or a network printer. In the Start menu, find the printer options, and in the horizontal bar above the box, you can find the button to add a printer.

A button will pop up a wizard to ask if the user is adding a local USB printer or a network or wireless printer. Since the Windows 7 operating system has a lot of built-in printer drivers internally, it is not extremely unpopular. The rest of the steps will automatically install the driver, here we demonstrate how to add a network printer.

At this time, the operating system will automatically scan the entire LAN to find a printer that is already connected.


After installing the driver, you are prompted to share this printer, here we choose not to share, because it is a network printer, other users can also access use.

Tip: After the printer is added, the printer model and the installed driver type will be displayed correctly. Here is the HP LaserJet P2015 on the network. The driver's printing language is PCL6. For the whole process, the author thinks that choosing the printer connection type and finding the button to add the printer may be the difficulty of this process, and other processes can reflect the high ease of use of the Win7 operating system.
