See how to change the input port in the printer driver, configuring it correctly in Windows.
Important
We always recommend keeping the printer connected to the same physical USB/serial port to avoid having to reconfigure the driver settings. If you plug the printer cable into a different port, you will need to update the port configuration in the driver.
It is necessary to install the printer driver in Windows for it to work correctly. Simply plugging the printer cable into the computer is not enough for it to start printing.
To check if your printer is configured and working, you can send a test print page directly through the printer driver.
