How do I hook up my printer to my computer. I ve connected all the wires but it still doesn t work.Help!

Sometimes you have to load the software if it came with a cd put it in. If it didn t go to your control panel and click add printer. That should get it done for you. Make sure your connections are right.

if it came with a cd run that if it didn t it might need drivers (search for them online) just type in like name of printer brand driver download or you can go to control panel gt; printer and faxesgt; and on the left side of the window it should say add a printer, fill out the required info

have you installed the drivers (if you have not got the drivers get the make and model of your printer and google it, you should be able to download the drivers from the site of the printers manufacture........ does the computer make a noise when you plug it in? )

perhaps you forget to switch the printer on...or you ll need to check on the print dialogue box if the printer you used is already activated.
