与有线打印机相比，无线或网络打印机可能有多种好处，但如果我们谈论安全性，有线打印机仍然保持在第一位。有线打印机的另一个优点是其数据传输的通信速度，可以使用而不必担心信号丢失。由于这些原因，即使在这个超现代的时代，许多用户仍然更喜欢使用有线打印机。但要使用有线打印机，您首先需要知道将打印机^(Printer)添加到计算机设备的方法。

如何在Windows 11中安装或添加本地打印机^{(Windows 11)}

1. 右键单击^{(Right-click)}开始按钮^(Start)并选择设置^(Settings)。
2. 在左侧的列表中，请选择蓝牙^(Bluetooth)和设备。
3. 在右侧窗格中，单击打印机和扫描仪。
4. 选择添加^{(Select Add)}设备并让计算机检测连接的打印机。

我想要的打印机没有列出

如果您的计算机无法找到您的打印机或者您在结果列表中没有看到该打印机，请单击“我想要的打印机未列出”的链接。^{(“The printer that I want isn’t listed”.)}

在下一页上，选择手动设置添加本地打印机或网络打印机^{(Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings )}旁边的单选按钮，然后单击下一步^(Next)按钮继续。

在下一个屏幕上，您将看到一个用于安装本地打印机和无线打印机的选项列表。

由于您在这里添加本地打印机，因此您需要选择“我的打印机有点旧。帮我找找。” ^{(“My printer is a little older. Help me find it.”)} 或“使用手动设置添加本地打印机或网络打印机”^{(“Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings”)}

我们建议您使用第一个选项，即“我的打印机有点旧。帮我找找。” ^{(“My printer is a little older. Help me find it.”)}并让您的系统搜索打印机。

之后，按照屏幕上的说明完成该过程。

如果它不起作用并且无法找到您的打印机，您可以使用列表中的最后一个选项“添加本地打印机或网络打印机手动设置”^{(“Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings”)}。

现在按照屏幕上的说明并提供将要求您完成该过程的详细信息。

如果在线文件仅提供打印选项但我没有打印机怎么办？

很多在线文档，尤其是官方文档都没有保存文件的选项。唯一的选择是打印它。有趣的是，大多数家庭用户的系统都没有连接打印机。原因是包括发布政府文件的组织在内的组织不希望任何人修改他们共享的文件的内容，从而禁用通常的下载按钮。

问题是可以选择 Print to PDF。使用相同的方法，您可以下载PDF格式的文件。

1. Right-click on the Start button and select Settings.

The printer that I want isn’t listed

In case your computer fails to find your printer or you don’t see the printer in the result list, click on the link saying “The printer that I want isn’t listed”.

On the next page, select the radio button next to Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings and then click the Next button to proceed.

On the next screen, you will see a list of option that is for both to install a local printer and a wireless printer.

Since you are here to add a local printer, you need to select either “My printer is a little older. Help me find it.” or “Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings”

We suggest you go with the first option i.e. “My printer is a little older. Help me find it.” and let your system search for the printer.

After that, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the procedure.

If it doesn’t work and fails to find your printer, you can go with the last option in the list saying “Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings”.

Now follow the on-screen instructions and give the details that will be asked you to complete the procedure.

What to do if an online file only gives an option to print but I do not have a printer?

A lot of online documents, especially official documents don’t have an option to save the file. The only option is to print it. Interestingly, most home users wouldn’t have a printer attached to their system. The reason is that organizations including those publishing government documents do not want any person to modify the contents of the file they have shared, thus disabling the usual download button.

The catch is that there is an option to Print to PDF. Using the same, you can download the file in PDF format.

How do I install printer drivers to my system?

Interestingly, most printer manufacturers prefer to push their own drivers to computers. Earlier, this was done using a driver CD, but now, the software associated with the printer starts installing as soon as the device is connected. However, if it doesn’t happen, you could always check the computer manufacturer’s website for the latest set of drivers.
