    Can't Find A Printer


    I have a two printers installed on my home WiFi, yet when I 'search' for them neither show up, what am I doing wrong. I have a new laptop which doesn't have a DVD/CD Drive to use the printer install disc so I need to figure this out.

    :)

  2. Printer

    The printer works and is downloaded. I can find that under my Control Settings. Can't find the scanner which is all part of the printer, so why can't I find that part of the printer?

    Can't find printer

    I was given an old HP Photosmart C5180 all-in-one printer. It's plugged into my compute and I downloaded the software and driver for it from HP's web site. The download showed no problems, successfully installed, and the printer works fine but when I
    try to add it in the control panel's devices and hardware it can't find it. Any ideas why? Tom the clueless

    I believe you meant my post which I had mistakenly posted to your thread.
    It was a careless mistake on my part.
    My reply was not meant for your. It was meant for this thread ............

    I apologize.

    If you don't mind investing a very small sum for an external DVD drive.
    It is relatively inexpensive.

    I bought one last year for an Iconia tablet. It was less than $40 Canadian.
