For full operation of the printer, you need to install additional software - drivers. Usually, they come with the device, on a special boot disk. Without them, the computer will not detect the connected device. Of course, we are not talking about devices that are automatically recognized by the system. I would like to note right away that you need to read the entire article, since there are complex and simpler ways to install drivers and therefore you need to read the article to the end. Almost at the very end of the article there is information on how to install a driver for a printer automatically, keep that in mind. When the question arises of how to install a printer without a disk, inexperienced users think that it is very difficult. But in fact, this procedure can be mastered in 15-30 minutes. Let's check if this is so.
There are two main ways to install a printer without a boot disk, namely, download the necessary drivers from the Internet
- Using basic Windows Update tools;
- By yourself, knowing the identification code of the device or using the printer model.
The first method is perfect for simple printer models (only printing and scanning documents, without additional tweaking), because Windows Update installs a basic driver package.
The second method allows you to download the latest software version, so after installing them, the user will have access to absolutely all printer functions, including more "advanced" ones.
In addition, the reason for installing drivers may be not only their complete absence, but also a malfunction of the device itself. Sometimes, using one or another driver, the printer refuses to print documents, and all because the driver you installed was not suitable for your device. This, of course, is one of the reasons why the printer may not work correctly, but as you understand, we are not talking about this in vain right now. After all, below we will tell you how to download your driver to your computer, but if you are in a hurry, then you may have difficulties. Therefore, proceed in stages.
If you have previously studied this issue somewhere and none of the methods have been successful, then you can try to reload the driver. This article is universal - here we will tell you how to do it in different versions of Windows.
Therefore, before installing the printer without a disk, you must:
1. Disconnect the device connected to the computer;
2. Go to "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Devices and Printers" or "View devices and printers";
3. Here you will need to find the line "Add a printer" or "Add a printer" in the top panel;
4. The Add Printer Wizard will open, select "Add a local printer" from the offered options and click "Next" (for Windows 7). If you have Windows 8 or 10, then at the bottom click "The required printer is not in the list" - and then select "Add a local or network printer with manual parameters" and click "Next".
5. The Add Printer and Other Hardware Wizard will prompt you to select a port, leave the default settings (LPT1) and go to the next step;
6. Click on the "Windows Update" button and wait until the available drivers are updated;
7. The list of printer companies and major models will be loaded. It may take 5 to 30 minutes. Find the manufacturer on the left and the printer model on the right. Then click "Next". In this case, we chose the HP brand and the LaserJet 1022 model.
8. The installation wizard will ask you to come up with a name for the device (leave the default name or come up with your own), click "Next";
9. Wait for the installation to complete;
10. The "Using General Settings" window will open, here you must select the "No sharing to this printer" option and click "Next" (the window will appear if Windows 7 is installed). If you have Windows 10, then you will see a window where you need to click "Finish" (the same window will appear later in Windows 7).
The next thing to do is to remove the newly installed device. To do this, right-click on the icon that appears for the printer and select “Remove device” from the context menu (this will keep the installed drivers).
After the steps taken, you can connect the printer to the computer. When you connect the printer, you need to wait a bit for the computer to automatically recognize the printer and install it. Then you can print any document to make sure the driver is installed.
How to do it in Windows 7:
Official sites
If you do not have a disc with drivers for the printer, you can download them from the manufacturer's official website. To do this, it is enough to know the brand and model of the printer. You can find them in the documentation, on the case or on the back of the device. If you do not understand the instructions below, you can download the required driver on our website without any fear (all drivers without viruses).
Open any browser and in the search bar enter: "HP LaserJet p1102 printer driver download". In this article I will be looking for drivers for the above device, but you need to specify your model.
As a rule, the link to the official website of the developer will be on the first search page, at the very top. But it does not always happen and therefore you need to be careful. In order not to download malware instead of drivers, make sure that you actually went to the developer's official website. To do this, pay attention to the site link in the search engine. There should be nothing "superfluous" (the address will be something like this: "hp.com" or "samsung.com", etc.)
If you doubt the authenticity of the site you have found, you can enter only the name of the printer company without the model and other information. And from the main page, go to the "drivers and other software" section.
Benefits of downloading drivers from the official website:
- Security (digital signature of drivers, absence of embedded malicious code);
- The developer places on the site only the latest, "fresh" versions of drivers.
As soon as you get to the required page (“Drivers and other files”, “Software”, “Software”, “Download”, as well as “drivers” on the English version of the site), you will need to enter your printer model and search.
In addition, some sites allow you to automatically determine the device model and the required drivers, for example, there may be a button "Define a product". So, if we are on the HP website, we click "Search for a product" and in our case, variations of this model appear. We need to select the desired model by clicking the left mouse button.
After the necessary drivers are found, you will need to specify information about the version of your operating system, the bitness of the system. If this window does not appear, then just click on the link or button to download the drivers.
A situation may arise that the site will offer to download the driver version of your choice:
- Basic - to access the basic features of the device;
- Extended - for access to additional functions.
You do not need to worry about which version you are downloading, the main thing is to indicate the correct bit depth of your system (discussed above).
Upon completion of the download, you need to run the downloaded file and follow the instructions of the installation wizard.
Windows Update
The Windows operating system contains by default all the basic drivers for the most popular peripherals. Including for printers and scanners. To do this, connect your device to your computer and wait a few minutes. If the attempt to automatically install the printer is not successful, you must do the following:
1. Open the "Control Panel";
2. Find "Hardware and Sound";
3. Click the left mouse button on "Devices and Printers";
4. A new window will appear with icons of the connected devices. Find an image of a computer or laptop (in my case it is a laptop) and right-click on it. In the context menu that opens, click on the line "Windows Update".
5. After that, a window will open where in the menu on the right you need to click "Check for updates". It should start automatically searching for available updates for all your devices. I must tell you that it is desirable to have a fast Internet connection, as this procedure can take 10-30 minutes.
6. Now you need to wait for Windows to download the found updates in automatic mode;
7. After the search is completed and all the updates found are downloaded and installed on your computer or laptop, you need to restart the device.
After restarting the computer, the printer should work. If, after restarting, the computer still does not see the device, the root of the problem may not be in the drivers. Try connecting the printer to a different USB input.
Finding the Printer ID
Each device that connects to the computer has a unique identification code. If you know the hardware ID, then you can easily download the driver you need. If the above instructions did not help you, and you did not understand, how to install a printer without disk, you need to find out its identification code. I recommend using this option in the most extreme cases, and if you downloaded the drivers from the official site, then you can skip this option.
So, to find out the ID:
1. Right-click on the computer and select "Properties", then on the left click "Device Manager";
2. In the window that opens, find your printer. Right-click on the desired line and in the menu that appears, click on "Properties";
3. A dialog box will open where you need to go to the "Details" tab. Next, in the "Property" line, select "Equipment ID".
4. A value will appear in the window below, which will be the identification code of the printer (if there are several values, then you must select the first one);
5. Copy the identifier. Go to the official website of your printer manufacturer and search for the copied identification number. You can also use search engines to find the driver you want using the hardware ID. But do not forget that our site has all the drivers for existing printers. It remains only to load the found driver.
Remember that you need to download drivers only from official resources. It's completely free and as secure as possible.
Installing drivers in automatic mode
So that this problem never bothers you and the drivers for any external devices are installed automatically, it is enough to change the basic Windows settings. For this:
1. Go to the "Devices and Printers" menu again (we told you how to enter here above) through the control panel. Right-click on the "Computer" icon and select "Device installation settings" in the context menu that appears;
2. A dialog box will open where you must select "Yes (recommended)" (recommended default settings) and click "Save";
Now, after connecting a new device, Windows will automatically search and install the necessary drivers from its own database or using an Internet connection.

Installing the Printer Driver
To control the printer, as for any other "hardware" device, you need to install a program on your PC or laptop, or rather a driver. Each printer model needs a different driver. True, Samsung and HP have created a universal print driver for their line of printers and MFPs.
So, in order to install a printer driver on a computer or laptop, you first need to download it from the manufacturer's website or download it from the disk supplied with the printer.
The driver must be compatible with your printer or mfp model and operating system. So, for example, a printer driver created under Windows XP x32 will not work under Windows XP x64. True, there are also universal drivers that will be compatible both there and there.
There are several ways to install the driver. Let's consider them.
Automatic for Windows XP.
After downloading the driver to your PC, run the executable file (setup.exe, autorun.exe) from the driver directory. DO NOT CONNECT THE PRINTER to the PC. Then follow the instructions of the installation wizard. At a certain stage, he will ask you to connect the printer to the PC. Windows Installer will automatically search for devices. In some cases, it needs to be canceled in order for the driver program to complete the installation itself.
Manual mode for Windows XP
Press START-CONTROL PANEL - PRINTERS AND FAXES and press Printer Installation
Follow the instructions of the installation wizard
At this stage, you need to abandon the automatic installation and put the choice in the item "install from a specified location" 
Now you need to click on the "browse" button and specify the location where you unpacked the archive and the driver. Usually this folder should contain a file with the extension "INF" 
When the path to the driver file is specified, click "OK" and then "Next" 
Next, the driver will be installed. It will take some time. Wait.
