Check the printer connection

In most cases, the printer installation error occurs when your computer is struggling to connect with your printer. Therefore, fixing the connection might help you get rid of this issue.

If you have selected the USB connection option as your connection type in the driver installation wizard, make sure that you connect the devices (printer and computer) using a standard USB cable. The cable should be firmly inserted at both end ports.
In case you have selected the wireless network connection option as your connection type, check the wireless signal strength and make sure that you have connected the printer to the same wireless network to which your computer is connected.
