Printer driver installation method

More than 90% of the new printers have USB interfaces. When installing, do not turn on the printer. After connecting the printer, follow the instructions on the CD to install the program, and then turn on the power when prompted to connect the printer. This makes it less prone to problems with print drivers. It is best to restart your computer after installation.

After restarting, open the control panel, double-click the printer and fax machine, and double-click "Printers and Faxes" to see if there is a driver for the corresponding printer. If the above icon is present, the installation is normal.

Reasons why the printer driver can not be installed

In the office LAN, sometimes the driver cannot be installed, or the driver is already installed but cannot be shared to other computers. At this time, you should check the firewall settings. If the connection is not available, consider turning off the firewall. If the network status is not good and the firewall is closed, but you still cannot connect, you should consider uninstalling or closing large applications and replacing them with smaller ones. Such as closing 360, replacing with NOD32 and so on.
