    Adding Printer to Desktop Computer


    Adding Printer to Desktop Computer –


    I have two Canon printers, PIXMA Model 480 and MG5721. Both modelshad been listed under Devices and Printers as being on my computer.


    I checked my computer’s listing and now only Model 480 is listed. I tried searching to add either model, and neither model was indicated as being on my computer.


    However, if I want to print a document, both models do appear.



    See screenshots.


    How can I get both models listed under Devices and Printers?



    Thanks,

    Jerry

    Adding unlisted printer to the Win10 list

    !'m not sure how I did it but all seems well now. It was something like Deacon suggested plus a re-boot or two. It's now listed as a printer, not as unspecified.

    Update the list still doesn't work.

    Thanks for your support.

    PS MS's Update catalogue is very useful. E.g. Microsoft Update Catalog

    Adding Printer to Desktop Computer

    Need help connecting XP Laptop to Vista Desktop's Printer.

    Sorry , I think, I read wrong.*Slap :slap: Are you tring to connect wirelessly to the printer on the desktop and the printer is connected to the desktop thru usb or something?


    Quoted from MS website:
    Sharing a printer


    If you have a printer attached to one of your computers, you can print to it from any computer connected to your wireless network. To share a printer, follow these steps:

    1. Log on to computer that has the printer attached to it.

    2. Open Network and Sharing Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then clicking Network and Sharing Center.

    3. Click the arrow button next to Printer sharing, click Turn on printer sharing, and then click Apply.

    4. Click the arrow button next to Password protected sharing, click Turn off password protected sharing, and then click Apply.

    Note

    If you have password-protected sharing turned on, people will need a user account with a password on your computer to access your printer.

    To access the printer from any computer on the network, follow these steps:

    1. Open Network by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Network.

    2. Double-click the icon for the computer that has the printer attached to it.

    3. Double-click the icon for the printer. Windows will automatically add the printer to your computer and install the printer driver.

    Sorry again and goodluck*Smile Adding Printer to Desktop Computer :)
