How to set up your printer
Some printers use a wired connection and can be set up with as little as an Ethernet cable, while other printers can connect to the wireless network provided via your wireless modem. While the specific setup may vary from one model of printer to another, the information for connecting a printer to your home network can be found below and used in conjunction with the setup guide provided by your printer's manufacturer.
