How to Print from Laptop to Printer (Quick & Easy Guide) 💻🖨️

About this video

Kevin shows how to print from a Windows laptop or PC. First connect the printer either with a USB cable or by putting the printer on the same Wi-Fi network as the computer. Then press Windows key + I to open Windows Settings, click Bluetooth and Devices on the left, and open Printers and Scanners. Click Add Device in the top right; when the printer is found on the network, click Add Device beside it, which connects to the printer and installs the relevant drivers — this may take a moment. Completion is confirmed when the printer name appears with ‘Ready’ underneath it. To print from just about any application, use File > Print, or the quicker shortcut Ctrl + P to open the Print dialog. In the dialog, select the printer you just added and wait until it shows ready, configure the print settings below to get the output exactly as wanted, and check the preview on the right-hand side showing what the printout will look like. Finally, click the Print button to produce the printout.

Key takeaways

• Connect the printer first via USB cable or by joining it to the same Wi-Fi network as the computer.
• Add it in Windows Settings (Windows + I) under Bluetooth and Devices > Printers and Scanners > Add Device, which also installs drivers.
• Confirm setup is complete when the printer name appears with ‘Ready’ underneath it.
• Open the Print dialog from File > Print or, more quickly, with Ctrl + P in most applications.
• Select the added printer, configure the settings, check the preview on the right, and then click Print.
