Feed in your model number and check the documentation for your hardware.
That page will also have any software, firmware and drivers for your device, if they exist. That will probably include any printer utilities you need.

So what am I missing. Can someone PLEASE give me a step by step instruction on how to MANUALLY install a Printer that is connected to a Netgear Router via USB (and Netgear ReadyShare says it's connected and ready to go) with Windows 11.
That is in most of the manuals I have seen.
I don't understand why Windows 11 cannot discover this printer, when Netgear ReadyShare says it's connected and ready.
Could it be that the friend who helpfully removed the printer did it in Windows? If so, this could be the wrong place to seek help.
