Moved desks or visiting another site? How to add the right printer and set your default.
If you've moved desks, are visiting another office or have a new laptop, you may need to add a printer before you can print.
Add a printer
- Make sure you're connected to that office's network, by Wi-Fi or cable.
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.
- Select Add device. Wait for the list to load, then pick the printer by its name or location.
- Print a test page to check it works.
Set your default printer
In Printers & scanners, turn off Let Windows manage my default printer. Then select the printer you use most and choose Set as default.
Things to know
- Not on the list? Some offices add printers for you automatically, or use a print app. Ask us which applies to yours.
- Printer names often include the floor or room. Check the label on the printer.
- Asked to install a driver and don't have permission? That's expected. Email support@deepnet.com with the printer's name and location.
