At this time, there are two ways to easily connect a network printer without the help of others. It’s not difficult, so if you follow it slowly, you can do the work nearby.
To connect a company printer, you first need to know the IP address the printer is using. The quickest way to find out the IP address is to ask the administrator. If this is difficult, you must check the IP address on the printer yourself.
To add a printer, first click the Windows button icon on the desktop or press the Windows key. Then click [Devices and Printers] in the menu.
A list of currently connected printers appears. I have a printer in use, but would like to add one more. Click [Add Printer] at the top.
A message appears asking you to select the type of printer to install. [Add local printer] is usually used when making a USB connection, but it can also be used when connecting a network printer.
If you know the IP address of the printer you want to use, select number 1. If you do not know the IP address, select number 2.
– Add local printer: This method is used when not using a USB printer, and is used when you know the IP address of the printer you want to connect to.
– Add a network, wireless, or Bluetooth printer: A list of printers shared on the network will appear, and if you wish to use them, you can select them from the list.
The method of connecting to add a local printer is to directly enter the printer or copier IP. Here, select [Create a new port], select [Standard TCP/IP Port] from the selection list, and then click the [Next] button below.
Now enter the printer IP address in the [Host Name or IP Address] field. When you enter an address, the corresponding IP address is automatically entered in the port name. From experience, it is best not to change the port name. This is because it is easy to check from basic information when a problem arises.
This time, we are installing the printer driver. After selecting the manufacturer, find and select the model from the printer list. Our office uses Sindoh products, and the manufacturer’s name is Ricoh.
If the product is not available, download and install the driver for the model from the manufacturer, or click [Have Disk] to link the driver address.
Enter the printer name. You can enter it in Korean, but it is better to use English letters and numbers. I do not recommend using Korean names because I have experienced errors when using Korean names.
The printer sharing settings section appears. Here, select [Do not share].
A message will appear asking if you want to set it as the default printer. If you only need to connect for a short time, uncheck it, and if you want to continue connecting and use it as the default, just leave it as is. Then click [Finish].
Once installation is complete, you will see the newly added printer in the printer list.
One of the benefits of using this method is when you don’t know the IP address. If you choose this method, your computer will find available printers on your company network and list them.
If you look closely at the list, you will see the printer name and address. Check and select the printer name you want to use, then click the [Next] button.
Then, a message asking you to install the driver will appear. After this, you can proceed in the same way.
We learned how to connect a printer. If the printer you want to use is not in the list, you can install it by entering the IP directly or using the printer program provided by the manufacturer.
It looks very complicated, but it involves a lot of clicking. If you follow along slowly, you will be able to install it easily. Have a nice day today ^^.
