  2. Next to Add a printer or scanner, select Add device.

  3. Wait for it to find nearby printers, then choose the one you want to use, and select Add device. If you want to remove the printer later, select it, and then select Remove.

  4. If your printer isn't in the list, next to The printer that I want isn't listed, select Add manually, and then follow the instructions to add it manually using one of the options
