### That New Printer's Still In The Box

You bought a wireless printer. It's been **sitting in the box for two weeks** because the thought of setting it up makes your **head hurt**.

Or you tried, got halfway through, and now it **prints random test pages** but won't actually print what you want. Your computer can't find it. Your phone can't see it.

The setup guide might as well be **written in another language**.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Modern wireless printers are much easier than they used to be - IF you connect them to WiFi first, then add them to your devices. Do it the other way round and nothing works.

Good to Know

> 🖨️ **Multiple printers?** I can set up home office printer, kid's printer for homework, whatever you need. All in one visit. **Old computer?** If your computer's very old, it might not have drivers for new printers. I'll check compatibility and advise if that's an issue. **Ethernet option?** If your printer won't connect to WiFi reliably, most have an ethernet port. Can plug it into your router with a cable - more reliable than wireless.

Frequently Asked Questions about Printer setup in Exmouth

Will it work with all my devices?

Most modern printers connect to WiFi and then any device on that WiFi can print to them - laptop, phone, tablet. I'll set it up on whichever devices you want to print from.

Do I need the installation CD?

No - most printer CDs are out of date anyway. I'll download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website. Usually works better than the disc.

What if my printer won't connect to WiFi?

We'll troubleshoot it - might be wrong password, printer too far from router, or compatibility issue. Most connect fine once you know the steps. If it genuinely won't work, I'll tell you honestly.

Can you show me how to print from my phone?

Yes - that's part of it. Most printers use apps like HP Smart or Epson iPrint. I'll install the app and show you how to use it.

What about scanning setup?

If your printer's an all-in-one with scanner, I'll set that up too. Show you how to scan to computer or save to USB.
