9. Click Next. At this point, your computer will try to detect the TCP/IP port. This might take some time.
10. Select the appropriate device type. Use one of the following methods to identify/install the appropriate printer driver:
    • Option 1: In the drop-down menu for Standard Device Type, select the device type that corresponds with your printer brand. For example, if you have a Canon printer, choose either Canon Network Printer or Canon Network Printing Device. Windows will detect the driver model. You will notice that once it detects the driver, your printer will be added to the list of devices in the Printer & Scanners menu.
    • Option 2: Install the print driver. Click on the box that says Have Disk. You will be instructed to install the driver from the manufacturer’s installation disk or a download of the driver and copy it from where the driver is located.
11. Set up optional preferences.
12. Enter a printer name if you want to.
13. Click Next.
14. Set up printer sharing if needed.
15. Click Next.
16. You will get a message that you have successfully set up the printer.
17. From here, you can print a test page or click Finish.

Note: To identify the difference between a local printer and a network printer, note that the network printer icon is depicted with a wire under it.
