   • During the installation process, you will be prompted to select your connection type. Choose Wireless as the connection option, and the software will automatically search for your printer on the network.
3. Complete the Installation:
   • Once the software has detected your printer, follow the remaining prompts to complete the installation.
   • After installation, the printer should be set up as the default printer on your computer, and you should be able to print wirelessly.
