To add a printer, particularly a network printer, on Windows 10, you generally follow these steps:

1. Open the **Start menu** and type **printers**, then select **Printers & scanners** in the search results.

2. Click **Add a printer or scanner** and wait to see if your printer is detected automatically. If not, select **The printer that I want isn’t listed**.

3. Choose **Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname**, then click **Next**.

4. Select **TCP/IP Device** for the device type.

5. Enter the printer’s **IP address or hostname** (which you can find on the printer’s network status page or configuration sheet).

6. Uncheck the option to query the printer (to prevent automatic detection issues), then click **Next**.

7. Select the appropriate driver for your printer model from the list, or use **Install from Disk** to provide drivers downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.

8. Complete the installation by following the on-screen prompts.

If adding a printer manually via Control Panel, you can also create a new port of type Standard TCP/IP and specify the printer’s IP address or hostname during setup, then install the driver accordingly[1][2][3][5].

For Chromebooks, you add a printer through **Settings > Printers and scanners**, then “Printers” to manage or add printers[4].
