The old ways have a new look
How to add a network printer in Windows 10/8/7
Times change and so does Windows. If you’ve recently moved from a Windows Server 2012 and Windows 7 or 8 environment to Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10, things are a little different.
The old ways to connect to a network printer are still around. They may look a little different, too. That’s why we’re going to show you how to connect to a network printer in Windows 10 or Server 2019. Our favorite way is the latter.

If it is not installed, you will be prompted to enter the administrator account name and password.
