A Windows 10 printer driver does not install when I connect my printer to a Windows 10 computer. What should I do?

Do the following:

- Turn on your computer.
- Select > .
- Select Devices > Printers & scanners > Add a printer or scanner.
- Do one of the following:
- If your printer appears in the window, select it and select Add device. Windows installs a driver for your printer, and your printer appears in the Printers & scanners list.
- If your printer does not appear in the window, select The printer that I want isn't listed > Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings > Next. Then do the following:
- Select Use an existing port, and in the drop-down list to the right, select USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB).
