Connecting a printer via Wi-Fi router via usb cable

The idea to write an article on how to connect a printer to a computer through a Wi-Fi router using a USB cable, arose after a question of one of the readers of the blog. He referred to the video in which I talked about setting up in Windows 10 of a common access to the print server on the network. And now I decided to make up for this gap and make a text illustration to my lesson. I’ll show you how to make a wired printer wireless and connect to a computer or laptop on Windows via Wi-Fi network.

There are several ways in which it is possible to connect the printer to any computer inside the wireless local network via Wi-Fi. Let’s list them.

• Printer through a router. Optimal in price and practice, this is when an ordinary home printer that you have been using for many years, connects to the USB port of the router. In this case, you do not need to buy any additional equipment and chemize with any settings.
• Printer through a computer. First of all, we can give overall access to the printer, which is connected by a regular USB cable to a computer that has a Wi-Fi adapter. Thus, any other PC or laptop through an intermediary in the form of the main computer will be able to print documents. The disadvantage of this method is that such a scheme would cause one inconvenience. the computer would have to work all the time so that there was access to the printer. Agree, it is inconvenient, especially when it comes to a working machine at home, and not a small office computer allocated specifically for working with network devices.
• Print server. Print server, or a print server, is a separate device equipped with a Wi-Fi module, which is connected to an ordinary non-wireless printer and with which it can be made by a full-fledged network. It is convenient to use this option, ever, the printer is installed far from the router, or the latter does not have a USB port to connect it.
• Built-in printer Wi-Fi. A great option for those who have thought to change or purchase a new device. In the presence of a immediately built.in wireless module, the printer is directly connected to the router and is available for all network users. However, the printer is a reliable thing and we do not change it often, so in most cases it is impractical to buy a new expensive device.

How to make a regular printer wireless. setting up through an asus router using a computer program

Further in this article we will talk about the third way and only about the simplest office printers or All-In-One Printer, which do not have a network integral and connecting to a computer via USB.

Despite their primitiveness, thanks to the multifunctionality of modern routers, the easiest wired printer can be turned into a full.fledged wireless network device that all network participants could use.

The first thing that is required to connect the printer to a computer or laptop via a Wi-Fi network is itself a router itself with a USB port.

We connect the cable from the printer to it and then begin to make settings in the ointment admin panel. But before that, be sure to install the driver from the printer on the computer. Either from the disk that was included, or finding them on the Internet for your specific model.

How to connect a printer to the ASUS router by USB cable?

• Connect the printer to the USB port of the router
• Install drivers on a printer on all computers
• Launch the printer setting utility from CD on a computer

Installed? We go further. I will show the printer in the Wi-Fi Router ASUS WL-520GU. After you have connected it to the USB router, a corresponding icon with the name of the model will appear in the network map.

Now we need another disc. the one that lay in the box with the router. We insert it into a disc and look for a program for installing a printer on a router. ASUS is called Printer Setup Utility (Printer file.exe). It can also be downloaded from the official site of the manufacturer. we find our model on it, open the section with drivers and programs and download the utility.

Next, start, click the “Next” button and wait until our device is discovered and the drivers are picked up.

That’s all-after this simple procedure, a computer or laptop join the printer via Wi-Fi and will perceive it as if it was connected directly to it.

In order for other computers and laptops inside the local network to see this printer, you also just need to put drivers from the installation disk.

And this is how he will look when choosing a device for printing documents:

How to connect a printer to a computer through a router by Windows 10

Now consider another method of connecting a common printer. if you do not have a special utility, then you can do this by built.in Windows tools.

We go to the “control panel. equipment and sound. installation of the printer“.

Features of setting

Now directly to the settings of network printers through a router. Since there are several methods of connecting, the instructions for setting are offered separate.

Many are naturally interested in the question of how to configure your printer through a router using Wi-Fi wireless connection technology. But due to the features of the equipment, this option can not always be implemented.

So that the setting of the printer connected through the router does not cause difficulties, you should separately consider all aspects of this stage of connection.

Router

To begin with, how the router is set up. If the printer installation is required using a Wi-Fi Roter for this, direct intervention in the configuration of the router itself is not required.

To combine the two devices under consideration, that is, the printer and router, you need to perform a couple of actions. Namely, include equipment, and apply one of the considered methods.

Since all the data into the router has already been entered, nothing separately and additionally configured is required. It is important that the router recognizes the printer. If this did not happen, then you will have to deal with the issue of updating software, reinstalling the drivers. But at this stage, problems rarely arise.

A computer

But the PC setting will certainly need. Before connecting the printer to your router using USB or Wi-Fi, you will need to make some adjustments to the computer configuration.

Without this, setting up a printer connected over the network through a router may not work. In the case using the Windows 10 operating system, the instruction will have the following type:

Open the Start menu and select the category of “devices”;

In the vast majority of cases performed actions are enough to connect a printer network.

Thus, you managed to connect your printer directly through the router to the computer, and use it for different purposes and objectives.

over, at present there is a great opportunity to install a printer using wireless technology through a router using mobile gadgets for this.

At the same time, the nuances of the connection depend on what kind of mobile platform the device works. It can be iOS or Android.

Connection to iOS

Owners of the iPhone apple smartphone can configure the connection through a mobile gadget to their printer if the latter has a built-in Wi-Fi Module.

In this case, the instructions will have the following view:

Check that multifunctional equipment (All-in-One Printer) supports Airprint technology;

If everything is configured correctly, then a printing command will be sent without any wired connection with the iPhone, and you will receive ready-made sheets with the necessary information.

Connection with Android

Again, if the printing device has a built-in Wi-Fi module, it is not necessary to use only a computer or laptop to print documents. Here it is quite possible to do with a smartphone or tablet running the mobile operating system Android.

First you need to perform the following list of actions:

• Connect the equipment, season the cartridge, make sure that the printer is ready for full operation, turn it on;
• Perform all the necessary manipulations with the router mentioned above;
• Turn on the Wi-Fi function directly on the printer (through settings or a special button on the case);
• Connect a mobile gadget to your home wireless network.

Now that the preparatory measures have been carried out, several options for connecting to the printer through a router using an Android smartphone are offered to choose from the user. This is a direct connection, the use of a virtual printer, or a remote connection.

The easiest way to make a direct connection. Here, much depends on the smartphone itself, since a number of modern models, even without outside software, ways to connect to the network, send a photo or text document for printing. Also for mobile devices, various applications were developed, presented by manufacturers themselves printers. For example, Canon is offered for the printing devices of Canon’s Canon Print.

Even without branded software, you can apply universal mobile programs. Usually in such situations you need:

Install the program on the Android Smartphone;

ASUS Settings. USB

The ASUS routers have access “Printer Setup Utility”. download the current version from the official site (we use the search), connect the printer to the router and start the program.

Support for Printer Canon, Epson, HP, Brother (but not all) is indicated.

Once again, we are convinced of the correct connection (in fact, it is not necessary through the lan wire, you can immediately via Wi-Fi) and click the “Next” button. The process of searching for connected printers begins.

After a while, the utility will find your printer and offer to install it with standard means. After this installation, you can already start printing. In the case of some problem, such a window will fall out:

• We check the correctness of the connection again.
• We check with the support of the router of your printer.
• We recall whether you have previously done strange settings in a router like insulation of networks (or creating virtual networks).

The second connection option

If you have a enough modern printer with an integrated adapter, then you can connect it to the router via Wi-Fi. This will be much more convenient, since the printer will not be tied to the router with its location. And can be in any part of the room where there is a socket. Agree, this is much more convenient.

You can connect a wireless system between the printer, computers and the router in two ways. If one of the ways does not work, then try the second.

• Printer connection using WPS

• Find on the router a button with an appropriate inscription.
• We study the instructions for the printer and look for whether there is support for WPS function and how to enable it. We activate WPS.
• Press the WPS button on the router and hold about two minutes pressed.

Ready, the printer has just joined the router using a Wi-Fi network. You can continue the setting, or experience the second method.

• Printer connecting through settings

• Press the “Settings” button on the printer.
• We are looking for points in the settings that are somehow related to the network.
• Choose the name of your Wi-Fi network, to which you want to connect.
• Enter the password from the network and are ready.

Connection can be considered completed. Plus a wireless connection is not only that the printer can be anywhere. Also, for its use, you do not need to include a specific computer to which it is attached. It can use any device connected to your network.

Printer setup and preparation for work

The setting is much simpler than it might seem at first glance. Just follow the above instructions:

• The search for available printers has begun. We will not wait for its end and simply choose the point “The necessary printer is absent in the list”. Click.
• The type of device select by tcp. We fill the other two lines with the address that we drove into the address bar of the browser to open the internal menu of the router. 168.0.1 you may have a different address.
• We got to the previous page where we chose special parameters. Now everything is chosen from us, so we click on the button further. Left a little.
• Now you need to install the drivers. Select your printer model and use the update center, or the disk from the manufacturer.

Excellent! Next should come a message that the setting was successful and the printer is ready to print. This means that we successfully completed the setting.

Using this instruction, you can also connect the printer to other computers of your Wi-Fi network. Now any device can make a request to your printer to print documents. We hope that the article was useful for you, and you were able to learn how to connect a printer through a Wi-Fi router.

Using a mobile device, you can without much effort and problems print any documents, photos using wireless technology.

But, as you know, it is important to pre.configure the connection of the printing equipment itself through the router. Depending on the model of the device, choose the appropriate connection method.

It is not difficult to set up a printer connection independently using a printer using a router. It is enough to follow the instructions and take into account the functionality of your equipment.

Did you have to connect All-in-One Printer via router? What method of connection do you consider the most convenient, effective and correct? Whether they came across some difficulties?

From this article you will learn how to turn a regular printer in wireless, connecting it to the router. If this does not work, the printer can be connected to a computer with an Internet connection, and then open a common access to the printer to other computers that are in your local network.

Find a USB port on the back of the router. If your router has such a port on your router, you can connect a printer using a USB cable that is attached to the printer.

Place the printer next to the router. Do this to connect a USB cable without interference with other connected cables.

Connect the printer to the hoster. Using this method, a computer connected to the Internet can be used as a wireless source for the printer. First connect the printer to the computer via a USB cable, which is attached to the printer.

Turn on the printer in the electro.stop. Select an electric outlet next to the computer to avoid stretching or bending of the cable.

Follow the instructions on the screen. If you need to install drivers or specific software, do it.

We set up the printer

Now that all your computers are combined on one local network, you need to make a common access to the printer. Sit for the PC to which your printing device is connected and perform the following actions, depending on the installed operating system.

Windows 10

Click “Parameters” → “Network and Internet” → “General Access Parameters”. Make sure that the “Private” section is activated “Turn on the overall access to files and printers”.

Now go to the “Parameters” section → “Devices” → “Printers and Scanners”. Click your printer and click “Management”, and then. “Printer properties”.

In properties, activate the “General access to this printer”.

MacOS

Open “System Settings” → Prinators and Scanners and select your printed device.

Activate the “Open printer for general access”.

Linux

For example, we will take the popular Ubuntu, but in other distributions, settings are similar. Open the “Parameters” → “Devices” → “Printers”. Click “Additional printer settings”.

In the window that opens, click your printing device with the right mouse button and turn on the “General Access” option.

Ready. After all these manipulations, your printer will be available on the network.

Add the printer on another computer

Windows 10

Open the “Parameters” → “Devices” → “Printers and Scanners”. Click “Add a printer or scanner”. Windows 10 will find an accessible option on the network automatically.

Click it and click “Add the device”.

MacOS

Go to “System Settings” → Printers and Scanners and click on a button with a plus icon to add a printer. Select Windows section on top. Let this name not bother you, so MacOS groups all the printing devices in the local network, even connected to Linux.

Select your working group (by default it is usually called WorkGroup), the name of the computer to which the printer is connected, and the printer itself.

In the drop.down menu from below, select a suitable driver. To do this, you may need to go to the site of the manufacturer of your printed device, download the driver from there and install it. Then click “Select the software” and indicate the corresponding printer.

If there are no drivers, try the “Universal Postscript printer”. it works on many devices. Now click “Add” and the connection will be completed.

Linux

Open the “Parameters” → “Devices” → “Printers” and click the “Add” button. Select the right one and click again “Add”.

When the printing device appears in the list, click “Additional printer settings”. Click it in the window that appears with the right mouse button and activate the option “use by default”, then OK.

Now you can print from any desktop on your local network. The main thing is that at this time the printer and the computer to which it is connected are included.

Expensive decision

Many users asking about how to make a network printer from the local does not stop setting up the Print Server wireless device is no different from the wired print server. All information on the fine setting is present in the instructions for network equipment.

The main feature that attracts the buyer to such a device is support for mobile equipment from Apple. It is about this brand that for some reason, many manufacturers of wireless printers and routers forget about this brand. Therefore, for the owners of the iPhone, MacBook and iPad, buying a wireless print server will be the only solution to the problem related to printing on the printer.

Total access to the printer

The easiest but no less effective way to solve the problem of how to make the printer network is to provide general access to a local computer. The algorithm is quite simple and even a schoolboy will master it.

• By going into the properties of the printer installed in the Windows system, go to the “Access” bookmark and install the flags opposite the “General Access” fields and “Task drawing”.
• By going into the properties of the system and moving on to the “Computer Name” bookmark that the “Working Group” is spelled out the same for all computers in the local network.
• To make the printer network, Windows 7, 8 and 10 require additional settings of the network adapter. To do this, go to the “Networks Management Center” and change the additional parameters of the total access, setting the flags opposite all the fields starting with the word “turn on”.
• Encryption is recommended to install 128-bit, and turn off the password protection.

We connect the printer to the local network

The first thing we need to do is connect the printer to the existing local network. This can be done in different ways. we will consider the simplest and most reliable.

Directly through the computer

If you have a small local network or you want to configure the network printer of the house, then connecting to a computer is the best option. He will not require financial investments from you in additional equipment, is easily configured and used.

Connect the printer directly to the computer using a USB cable and install drivers. It is best to connect the printing device to the PC that is most often turned on. If you have a computer that works around the clock, then it will be the best choice. Make sure the seal works correctly. print the test page.

It would seem why bother with different types of printer connecting, if you can simply shake it from a computer to which it is connected? In fact, there is a reason for such complications. if the PC to which the printing device is connected will be turned off or faulty, all network participants will lose access to the printer. Therefore, at home, you can still get by connecting to a specific computer, and in offices it is better to contact auxiliary equipment.

Settings

Now we need to shake the printer to all other devices connected to the local network. that is, open access to it for all the rest PC. For this:

• Go to the “control panel”. For Windows 7. “Start”. “control panel” for Windows 8, 8.1, 10. click with the right mouse button for “Start”, select “Control Panel”.
• Select “Network and Internet”. “Center for Networks and General Access”.
• Click on the left “Change the parameters of the general access”.
• Now we are unfolding the hiring “Private”.
• We put the “Turn on network detection”, “enable general access to files and printers”, “allow Windows to control connections”. Also put the box “Turn on automatic settings on network devices”.

So you open a computer for other PCs in the local network

In the field “Name of the General Resource” you can set the name of the printer, which will be displayed by all users of the local network, for example, “Printer in the living room”

Now all the network computers can connect to our printer. To do this:

• Open to the PC, to which the printer is not connected, the “conductor”.
• Select “Network” in the left menu.
• Find in the list of PC devices to which the printer is connected, and click on it twice.
• You will see the printer icon. Click on it with the right mouse button and select “Connect”.
• After the system sets up the connection (it will take about half a minute), you can test the printer. Try to print something from this computer. In the list of available print methods, you should see a configured network printer.

This instruction must be performed on all PCs that are not connected to the printer, but from which you want to print.

Using a print server

A print server is a small device that connects to a local network and a printer, and then opens up access to this printer to all devices on the network.

It should be borne in mind that the word “print server” is very ambiguous. Some equipment (for example, routers or switches) have a print server function-that is, they have a special integrator and a web configurator to connect a printer to a local network. And the print server is called software, which allows the computer itself to become such a server. In general, in order to avoid confusion, below we will call the “print server” only individual devices themselves, which perform only this function.

The main problem of print servers is compatibility. Typically, these boxes are produced by the manufacturers of printing devices themselves-for example, Print servers from Canon, Epson, HP Laserjet are very popular. However, they are usually able to work only with printers of their production. Therefore, before buying, be sure to inform what devices support the print server on which you have aimed. This information is always on the site of the manufacturer of the box.

How to use a print server? Very simple-you need to connect the printer to the USB port, and connect the print server itself using a patch cord with a local network router. Details of connection to the network can vary in different manufacturers, so here we will direct you to the instructions for operation. this moment is always specified in it in detail. Most print servers also have disks for fast installation. The configuration of the print server is usually carried out, like the routers, through the web-intese.

After that, all computers connected to the same local network will have access to the printer. It is not necessary to install drivers and tune access. this is the charm of special equipment.

Through the router

The printed device can be connected to a local network and through a router if it has a USB port. In this case, you need to turn off the printer and router, connect them with a USB cable, and then turn it on again.

If the printer can connect to Wi-Fi, then you can do without wires. In the printer menu, find the right network, enter the password to it and connect. Detailed instructions on how to connect to Wi-Fi on your model will be in the user guide to the device.

Such a connection has a number of minuses. Firstly, the printer’s performance is highly dependent on the firmware of the router-it must be regularly updated, and if, after the update, the printer stops working, rolling back. Secondly, the drivers for the printer will have to be installed on each PC, which is connected to the network. Thirdly, in apartments the router is often placed in the corridor. Put a much more bulky printer there is not the best idea. Therefore, for home use it is better to abandon the router in favor of a regular cable connection to a computer.

Possible problems and their solution

We will analyze some of the most common problems that may arise in the process of setting up and using a network printer.

The network printer is not displayed in accessible

So, you connected the printer according to the instructions, approached another computer, but when trying to print, do not see the network device. What’s the matter?

Usually this problem is caused by the fact that the PC from which you are trying to print something is not connected to the local network. Make sure that:

• It is connected to the same router via Wi-Fi or cable;
• The router is included;
• The names of the working group of all your computers on the network coincide. In Windows 7, this can be done by pressing the right button on the “my computer” and choosing “properties”. In Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. with the right button for “Start”, and then. “Computer Management”. You will see the name of the computer and the name of the working group. The first parameter should vary in all PC connected to the network, and the second. on the contrary, coincide. If not so, select one name for the working group and assign it to all computers on the network.

Sometimes the problem with displaying a network printer is associated with a malfunction of the ports. Make sure that the USB port of both the printer itself and the devices to which it is connected do not have physical defects-are not broken and not bent.

The network printer does not print

If the network printer is displayed in the list of available ones, you can connect to it, but the printing process does not go, you need to conduct a small diagnosis. See if there are error messages on the screen of the printer itself. You will be surprised, but often such a problem is explained by the simple absence of paper in the tray or paint in the cartridge.

If any messages are not displayed on the printer itself, and the documents sent to print simply go into the void, then the reason is most likely lies in the drivers:

• If you connect the printer via a print server, then again roll the list of devices supported by it. Most likely, your model of the printing device is simply not suitable. If you bought a print server recently, you can try to return it to the store or exchange it for another model;
• If the connection is carried out through the router, make sure that the drivers on the printer are on the PC you are interested in. This can be done by connecting the printer to it directly. If the seal does not pass even with such a connection, then you need to update or completely reinstall the drivers. If the printer prints during a direct connection, then the problem can lie in the firmware of the router. If you updated it recently, then roll back to the previous version (just install the older version of the firmware by downloading it on the manufacturer’s website);
• If the printer is connected via PC, then you need to check the drivers only on this computer. Make sure that the PC is going on directly from this PC. If this is not the case, demolish and install the drivers again.

Reinstalling drivers is carried out as follows:

• Download the fresh version of the drivers for your version of Windows on the official website of the printer manufacturer. Drivers are usually located in the “PO”, “support” or “loading” section. Make sure that you download the driver for your printer model.
• Go to the “Device Manager”. In Windows 7, you need to click on the right.click on “My computer” and select the appropriate item. In Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. click on the “Start” with the right mouse button and select “Device Manager”.

From this context menu you can access many administrator utilities and programs

The network printer does not connect

If, when trying to connect to the network printer or print something with it, you have a “Windows” error with it cannot connect to the network printer, ”this usually indicates a shutdown of the press service. This can happen for various reasons. a failure when installing drivers, viral on.

In Windows 10, an error message looks somewhat different, but the text does not change

• If the printer is connected to the LALL via PC, then we perform all actions below on it. If through a router or print server, then on the computer from which we want to print.
• Open the “control panel” (Windows 7. “Start”. “Control Panel”, Windows 8, 8.1, 10. PKM “Start”. “control panel”).
• Select “Service” item.
• Find in the list “Print Manager”.
• Click on it twice. the parameter window will open.
• Put a checkplace opposite the “automatic launch type”.
• Make sure the service is enabled. If you can click on the “enable” button, do it.

Setting up a network printer can take a little time, but in the future you will be grateful for your work that you did. After all, it is much more convenient to send documents for printing directly from the workplace than to drag files to another computer, and only after that is printed.

Printer setting through Wi-Fi router

Further installation of the printer is carried out through the “control panel” of the computer (from which you plan to use the function of wireless printing). Of course, the connection on the local network should be configured here and the correct settings of the network card should be installed.

If you need to connect a network printer through a router to several functional nodes of a local network (computer, laptop T.D.), then a similar setting must be carried out separately at each PC.

For example, consider connecting the printer on Wi-Fi to a laptop with Windows7 OS:

Go “Start”- “control panel”.»Equipment and sound”. “Devices and printers”.

In this window, select the “Printer Installation” section and the subsection “Add local printer”.

At the next stage, install the marker on “Create a new port”, select “Standart TCP/IP Port” from the opening list and click “Next”.

In the next window in the Name or IP address field, enter the IP address of your router (in most cases 192.168.one.1), again click “Next” and wait for the loading of new parameters.

Next in the “installation” window, select the type of “ordinary” device, click “Next” and wait for the loading of the parameters again.

In the “Driver Installation” window, select the manufacturer and the model of your printer.

If there is no one, click “install from the disk” and download the driver from the disk (from the base set of delivery of the device).

At the next stage, enter the name under which your printer will be displayed, click “Next”, then again “Next” and “Ready”.

This is the setting of the printer through the Wi-Fi router is completed and you can test the operation of the device.

Connecting an installed printer through a Wi-Fi router

If before that the printer has already been installed on this computer to make it available via Wi-Fi:

Further setting of the printer is carried out in accordance with paragraphs 4. 7 of the previous instruction.
