Setting up an IP (Network) Printer

Start > Devices and Printers.

2. Add Printer

3. Choose "Add a local printer". I only ever choose the network printer option if I'm connecting to a printer by name in the \\win7\printer name format, or I'm going to browse Active Directory for a printer.

4. Select a new port > Set the type of port to "Standard TCP/IP Port" > Next.

5. Enter the IP address of the printer. Either you have set this up manually, or you have got it from a configuration page that you printed off the printer > Next.

6. Have Disk.

7. Navigate to your drivers.

8. Some drivers are for multiple printer types, select yours. Note: It's not unusual for multiple manufacturers models to be listed here > Next.

9. Give the printer a name > Next.

10. Choose whether you want to share the printer or not > Next.

11. Print a test page.

12. There's your new printer setup and ready (the green tick denotes it's the default printer).
Note: The Default Printer, is where your print jobs are sent if you have multiple printers installed, and you simply hit the print button in an application
.
