This article explains how to add a printer to your home network using an Ethernet or wireless connection on Windows and Mac devices.

All modern versions of Windows include a printer sharing feature that allows a computer to share its printer. This method requires the printer to be turned on and connected to a network computer.

Enable file and printer sharing. This option is hidden in some advanced sharing settings, which you can access via Settings or Control Panel, depending on your version of Windows.

Open the Start menu and search for printers. Choose Printers & scanners from the list, or Devices and printers in some versions of Windows.
