Computerist provides practical printer setup and support for homes and home offices across Melbourne’s south-east. Whether you’ve purchased an inkjet, laser, multifunction or wireless printer, we can help configure it with your computer, laptop and home network.

We make your printer work with the devices you already have.

printAsk About Printer Support

New Printer Setup

Setting up a new printer can involve more than connecting a USB cable.

Depending on the printer and your requirements, setup can include:

      Printer installation

      Driver installation

      Printer software

      USB connection

      Wi-Fi connection

      Network configuration

      Windows configuration

      Mac configuration

      Default printer settings

      Test printing

      Scanning configuration

We’ll configure the printer according to the devices and network available in your home or home office. For official guidance on installing & troubleshooting printers in Windows, see Microsoft Support — Add or install a printer in Windows.

Wireless Printer Setup

Wireless printers are convenient when they’re configured correctly.

Computerist can assist with suitable Wi-Fi printer setup, including:

      Connecting the printer to Wi-Fi

      Selecting the appropriate wireless network

      Installing required software

      Configuring computers

      Testing connectivity

      Troubleshooting communication problems

If the printer cannot connect to your Wi-Fi, the problem may involve the printer, router, wireless configuration or network itself.

We’ll investigate the likely cause.

Wi-Fi & Home Networking

Printer Setup for Home Offices

A printer can be an important part of a home-office environment.

You may need it to work with:

      Desktop computers

      Laptops

      Macs

      Windows PCs

      Multiple users

      Wi-Fi

      Home networks

      Scanners

      Business applications

Computerist can help configure suitable printer arrangements for home-based businesses and professionals.

Windows Printer Setup

Computerist can assist with configuring a suitable printer on Windows computers.

This can include:

       Installing printer drivers

       Adding the printer

       Configuring printer settings

       Selecting the default printer

       Testing printing

       Troubleshooting printer errors

       Configuring scanning where supported

If Windows detects the printer but printing still doesn’t work, we’ll investigate the configuration rather than repeatedly reinstalling it.

Mac Printer Setup

Printers can also require configuration when being connected to a Mac.

Computerist can assist with suitable Mac printer requirements involving:

      Printer detection

      Driver or software installation

      Wi-Fi printing

      USB printing

      Printer configuration

      Scanning

      Troubleshooting

Mac Repair

Printer & Scanner Setup 

Many modern multifunction printers combine:

Print + Scan + Copy

Getting printing working doesn’t necessarily mean scanning has been configured.

Where supported, Computerist can assist with:

      Scanner configuration

      Scanning software

      Scan-to-computer

      Document scanning

      Basic scan settings

The exact functionality depends on the printer and manufacturer’s software.

Printer Drivers & Software

Printers often require manufacturer software or drivers to provide their full functionality.

Computerist can assist with suitable:

      Printer drivers

      Manufacturer software

      Firmware-related setup

      Printer utilities

      Scanning applications

We aim to use appropriate software from legitimate sources and avoid unnecessary third-party utilities.

Printer Troubleshooting

Already have a printer that isn’t working?

We can investigate suitable problems involving:

      Printer not detected

      Printer offline

      Wi-Fi connection problems

      Printing errors

      Driver problems

      Queue problems

      Poor communication between devices

      Scanning problems

      Incorrect printer selection

Sometimes the printer itself is working correctly, and the problem is somewhere else.

Printer Not Printing?

A printer that refuses to print can have several possible causes.

For example:

Printer

↓

Wi-Fi

↓

Router

↓

Computer

↓

Driver

↓

Print queue

↓

Application

The visible symptom doesn’t always identify the actual problem.

A computerist can investigate the setup and determine where the issue is occurring.

Printer Offline?

Seeing “Printer Offline” doesn’t necessarily mean the printer has failed.

The cause could involve:

      Wi-Fi

      Network configuration

      Printer IP address

      Computer settings

      Driver

      Print queue

      Router

We’ll investigate the configuration and determine what needs attention.

Printer Problems Aren’t Always Printer Problems

A printer that won’t print isn’t necessarily faulty. The problem can be caused by Wi-Fi, network configuration, drivers, Windows or macOS settings, print queues, permissions, software or the way the printer has been configured. Computerist can work through the wider setup to identify where the problem actually sits rather than simply replacing the printer.

Printer Setup for Multiple Devices

A wireless printer can often be shared between several devices.

Computerist can help configure suitable printer access for:

      Desktop PCs

      Laptops

      Macs

      Home-office computers

      Multiple household users

The exact setup depends on the printer, operating systems and network configuration.

Printer Setup & Home Networking

A wireless printer is part of your home network.

If your printer keeps disconnecting or cannot be found, the underlying problem may actually be your Wi-Fi or network configuration.

Computerist can investigate both sides of the problem where appropriate.

Wifi & Home Networking

Printer Setup for Remote Workers

Working from home can require access to printing and scanning just as much as a traditional office.

Computerist can help configure suitable home-office printers for:

      Documents

      Invoices

      Forms

      Scanning

      Business correspondence

      Other everyday work requirements

 

Printer Security

Modern network-connected printers are computers in their own right.

Where appropriate, printer security considerations can include:

      Wi-Fi security

      Firmware updates

      Administrative passwords

      Network access

      Manufacturer accounts

For home users, keeping the printer connected to a properly secured home network is an important starting point.

Setting Up a New Printer?

A new printer should be more than simply connected to a computer. We can help configure the printer, install the appropriate software and drivers, connect it to your network, configure scanning where supported and make sure the devices you actually use can communicate with it properly.

What We Don’t Do

Printer manufacturers produce a huge range of models, and not every fault can be resolved through computer configuration.

Computerist’s focus is primarily on:

Setup

Configuration

Connectivity

Drivers

Software

Troubleshooting

If the printer has a physical component failure requiring specialist manufacturer repair or replacement parts, a dedicated printer repair provider may be more appropriate.

Why Choose Computerist?

We look at the whole setup

A printer problem isn’t always a printer problem.

We can consider the:

      Printer

      Computer

      Wi-Fi

      Router

      Software

      Drivers

Rather than treating each component in isolation.
