Windows 10 can't find printers - what you can do

When setting up and using printers under Windows, there are always problems. Mostly it is simply because Windows supposedly can not find the printer, although it has already been connected and also the drivers are installed. Fortunately, there is a solution to this problem.

Windows 10 can't find printers: here's what you can do

The fact that Windows can't find your printer is usually due to a trivial cause. It's best to go through the most likely ways to fix the error.

1. First of all, you should check if the printer is also properly connected to the power and is already in operation. If not, start it now.
2. Restarting the printer while it is already connected to the computer can also help.
3. If the printer is connected to your PC via USB, check the cable for proper function. Often a broken cable is the trigger for the printer not to be recognized.
4. Try another USB port in the same move. Der aktuelle könnte möglicherweise defekt sein oder ein Problem mit den Treibern haben.
5. Sollte Ihr Drucker über WLAN mit dem Computer verbunden sein, stellen Sie sicher, dass die Verbindung aktuell aktiv ist.
6. Auch müssen Sie im gleichen Netzwerk wie der Drucker registriert sein, falls dieser Schritt noch nicht geschehen ist.
