If your printer will not work with the HP Universal Printer Driver or you are connecting to a non- HP printer, you will need to go to the Printer Manufacture's website to download the correct drivers. For HP, you can go to Drivers In the search box type in the model of your printer and click the search button. Select your operating system from the list. Now download the driver for your printer (We recommend downloading the PostsScript Driver).
Once you've downloaded the drivers you will need to double click on the file. It should extract the file into C:\HP Universal Print Driver PostScript v5.1.0.1 or something similar for HP printers.
Open the Settings window by going to: Start -> Settings
Click "Devices"
Click "Add a printer or scanner"
Scroll down and click "The printer that I want isn't listed"
Select "Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname," then click "Next"
Input the IP Address of the printer you want to add and click "Next"
If the drivers for the printer are not already available on your computer, a dialog box will pop up. First click "Windows Update" and after it is done updating, select your printer from the list and click "Next"
If the printer is not listed click on Have Disk...Browse Go to the directory where you saved your drivers and select it. Click OK. Now you should see your printer in the list.
Accept the printer name and click next
Select "Do not share this printer," then click "Next"
Click "Print a Test Page". Once the page comes out, click "Finish"
Double check to make sure the new printer is installed properly by going back to Devices and Printers as you did in the beginning
