How Can I Connect My Printer to an Ethernet Connection?

Connect the Ethernet cable to your printer, then connect the other end of the cable to an Ethernet router. Write down the printer's name. If you don't see it written on the printer, contact the network administrator.
Click 'Start,' then 'Control Panel.' Click on 'Hardware and Sound' and 'Printers.'
Click 'Add a Printer' to open the Add Printer Wizard. Click 'Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.'
Click your printer's name in the list of available printers. Click 'Next.'
Click the button next to 'Download drivers and software' when prompted.
