A printer driver is a piece of software that acts as a translator between your operating system (like Windows, macOS, or Linux) and your printer hardware. Without the correct driver, your computer won't know how to send print jobs to your printer, leading to errors or the printer not functioning at all.

Connect your printer:
USB: Connect one end of the USB cable to your printer and the other to an available USB port on your computer.

Turn on the printer: Power on your printer.
Windows Detection: In many cases, Windows will automatically detect the new printer and attempt to install the appropriate driver from its built-in driver library or via Windows Update.
You might see a 'Found new hardware' notification.
Follow any on-screen prompts.
