Easy network set up printer not found error

Hi Rose Smith!

First step that we need to do is check the hardware condition of the printer, if you printer is capable of scanning, try making of any regular document this will if the scanning and printing mechanism of your printer is working. Next is check the wires. If there is nothing wrong with the printer then we can start troubleshooting on the software.

Now, One of the common cause for ""Printer not found"" error on Windows computers are personal firewall and security software. What we can do about this issue is we can disable the Security Software and Windows Firewalls. Then after those steps, Run the Easy Network SetUp and see if it will detect your printer.
If its doesn't work, we can try this workaround. We can manually add Printer by going to printers and faxes, then Add a printer, click on Add a local printer on  Create new port > TCP / IP (your Printers IP address), and just follow the installation wizard."
