In the Windows Settings search box, type “Printer,” then select Add a printer or scanner. In the Printers & scanners page, select Add a printer or scanner. Select your printer when you see it appear, then follow any additional instructions to install the printer driver.
Right-click Start , then select Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners. Find the printer, select it, then select Remove. After removing your printer, add it back by selecting Add device. Wait for your device to find nearby printers, choose the one you want, then select Add device.
To remove printer and driver on Windows 10, open Settings > Printers & scanners, select the printer, and click “Remove device.” Then open Print management > Custom Filters > All Drivers, right-click the driver, and select “Delete.”
Yes, you can usually set up a printer without the disc, provided you have the printer`s USB cable. Also, you may need to download software from the internet for older printers.
Basically, a printer driver is a piece of system software that allows your computer to interact with your printer. It translates instructions sent from your operating system or application software into a form/language that your printer can “understand” – allowing it to respond properly to those instructions.
Open Device Manager and locate the device. Select and hold (or right-click) the device and select Update driver software… from the context menu. In the wizard, select Browse my computer for driver software. Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
From the taskbar

Right-click the printer icon on the taskbar, then select Printer Settings. You see the printer software window.

Yes you can. You`ll need a printer that supports this, though. Here is a list of printers that you can use to print directly onto CDs or DVDs with Acoustica CD/DVD Label Maker. You`ll also need special printable discs.
Web Print is a driver-less printing service that allows users to print by uploading documents from a web browser. No client software or driver installation is required.
You must have a disc drive capable of burning a CD (compact disc) and a blank recordable CD-R (recordable CD-ROM). For example, a CD-RW and DVD-RW are examples of drives capable of burning a CD. A standard CD-ROM drive cannot burn a CD with any software program.
Go to your computer`s BIOS settings and confirm that the optical drive is listed first in the boot sequence. If it is not, reorder the list, so the optical drive is first. That ensures your computer boots from the bootable disk (CD or DVD) instead of the hard drive as it normally does.
A transaction code is used to access functions or running programs (including executing ABAP code) in the SAP application more rapidly. By entering a t-code instead of using the menu, navigation and execution are combined into a single step, much like shortcuts in the Windows OS.
An optical disc drive (ODD) in a computer system allows you to use CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs to listen to music or watch a movie. Most drives also allow you to write data to a disc, so you can create your own music CDs, video DVDs or even create of back-up copy of your important data files.
A printer is a hardware output device that is used to generate hard copy and print any document. A document can be of any type such as a text file, image, or the combination of both.
A printer driver is a software program that allows your computer to interact with your printer. The purpose of the driver is similar to that of an interpreter – it allows two different and otherwise incompatible devices to communicate.
Application software is a type of computer program that performs a specific personal, educational, and business function. Each application is designed to assist end-users in accomplishing a variety of tasks, which may be related to productivity, creativity, or communication.
The most common reason is an unreliable connection between the printer and the computer. You might also have a paper jam, out-of-date drivers or a print spooler service with bad data.
The currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or corrupt. Your PC requires an update for issues that may conflict with a USB external hard drive and Windows. Windows may be missing other important updates hardware or software issues.
Your printer should have been packaged with a USB cable regardless of whether it is a wireless or wired printer. Plug the cable into your printer and your computer`s USB port. The direct linking should trigger your computer to recognize the printer and start up the software needed to complete the installation.

Lexmark X4650 paper Jamming!!
ANSWER : Well I had two printers that had similar issues – misalignment of paper feed which rendered both printers useless. I shook the Lexmark x4650 a couple of times and then plugged it in and got new paper and voila the misalignment was gone and it actually fed paper like it used to and printed it too.

Lexmark X466 empty tray
ANSWER : The “Load Tray 1 with A4 paper” means the printer is looking for A4 size paper in Tray 1 and that is not what it is detecting. You need to make sure that the paper size that is in the tray matches what the printer is expecting so it understands that it should be looking for a specific size of paper. If you are printing on regular Letter size paper – set the printer tray to Letter instead of A4 and message should go away.

Lexmark paper feed problems
ANSWER : On my X204n Lexmark laser printer, it was doing the same thing you described – basically sounded like it was trying to pick up the paper from the tray and then failing after several seconds. When you’d open the paper tray, the paper looked like it had been partially taken up with some black scuff marks on the paper that lined up with the rollers that take up the paper. I inspected the rollers and although they looked a bit smooth and worn, didn’t seem like they should be a problem. However, this particular model has just a rubber tire almost like a car tire – the rubber can come off the hard plastic wheel on the inner portion. So I popped off the two rubber “tires”, turned them inside out and put them back on. When turned inside out, the rubber looked nice and … rubbery and had a lot more grippy feeling to them. The very first printing attempt after that and the paper sucked up perfectly with no problems. I think the problem is solved! So if you have similar “tires” that take up the paper, try flipping them and see if it works for you too.
