Printers & Scanners

Pair a Bluetooth printer with Windows, iPhone, iPad, or Android, and understand Bluetooth printing limits versus Wi-Fi.

Reconnect a printer after a new router, network name, or Wi-Fi password by rerunning wireless setup and re-adding the printer on computers and phones.

Change scanner DPI in manufacturer apps, Windows Scan, Preview, or Image Capture, and choose the right resolution for documents, photos, OCR, and file size.

Check ink or toner levels from the printer screen, manufacturer app, Windows, macOS, or tank windows, and understand why estimates are not exact.

Align a printhead from Windows, Mac, or the printer control panel when text looks doubled, blurry, or lines print crooked.

Cancel stuck Mac print jobs from the queue, Terminal, Activity Monitor, printer memory, or the last-resort reset printing system option.

Add a printer by IP address on Windows or Mac when automatic discovery fails, and prevent future breakage with a DHCP reservation.

Add a wireless printer in Windows 11 automatically, manually by IP address, with manufacturer apps, and set it as your default printer.

Printheads do not have one fixed replacement interval. Learn the signs of permanent clogs, what to try first, and when replacement is worth it.

Add a printer to your network by connecting it through Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB sharing, DHCP reservations, or a print server.
