Printing via WLAN - how it works

If you don't want to connect your printer to your computer via cable, printing via WLAN is a good alternative. However, before you print via WLAN for the first time, it is necessary to set up your printer on your computer or mobile device.

How to set up a WLAN printer on your PC

To send print jobs from your computer to the printer wirelessly, you first need to set up a connection between the two devices via the WLAN network. To do this, you need a WLAN router and both a computer and a printer that are WLAN-enabled.

1. To set up the WLAN printer on a Windows PC, first turn on the printer and make sure the WLAN feature is turned on on all devices.
2. On the computer, then open the Windows Control Panel and go to "Hardware and Sound" > "Devices and Printers".
3. Click "Add Printer" there, wait until the printer is displayed and install it with a double click.
4. Once you have set up the printer, you can use it to print text documents, photos or other files. Select the device for this and start the printing process.

Print via WLAN: How to do it on the mobile device

You also have the option to print documents or photos via a WLAN connection on a mobile device. To do this, first download the appropriate app from your printer manufacturer or a third-party app from the Play Store or App Store and set it up by searching for your printer in the Wi-Fi network. Then select a file to print in the app and click "Print" to start the process.
