How do you add a printer if it is not listed?

Click “Start,” “Devices and Printers,” and select the printer. There should be an icon at the bottom of the window next to State, indicating that the unit is shared. If the printer isn’t shared, right-click it and select “Printer properties.” Click the “Sharing” tab and check the box next to “Share this printer.”
