1. Make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to the same network as the Windows device. Important: For wireless printers, make sure the printer is on the same wireless network as the Windows device. For more information on connecting a printer to a network, see the printer's documentation or the printer manufacturer's website.
2. On the Windows device where the network/wireless printer needs to be added, select Start and then select Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners . Or Select the following Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners shortcut: Open Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners
3. In the Bluetooth & devices > Printers & Scanners window, check to see if the printer is already installed in the list of installed printers.
4. If the printer isn't installed, in the Bluetooth & devices > Printers & Scanners window, next to Add a printer & scanner, select the Add device button.
5. A list of printers is displayed. It might take a few minutes for the list of printers to finish populating. Next to the desired printer select the Add Device button.
