Call now, or leave your number and a technician calls you back.
No. Avenqube LLC is an independent company with no affiliation, endorsement or sponsorship from any printer manufacturer. Brand names are used only to describe the equipment we can configure. For warranty claims or hardware repairs, contact the manufacturer directly.
When do I find out the price?
Before any work starts. A technician confirms a fixed price in writing, and nothing begins until you accept it. If you say no, you owe nothing. We never ask for payment by gift card, cryptocurrency or wire transfer.
What if you cannot fix it?
No fix, no fee on software and setup problems: if we cannot fix a software or setup problem, you are not charged. If the cause is a hardware fault, we explain what we found and point you to the manufacturer or a local repair shop, and you are not charged for the troubleshooting.
Can I do this myself?
Often, yes. Windows, macOS, iPhone and Android all have built-in steps for adding a printer, and our free guides at the bottom of this page show them. Call us if the printer is not found, the driver will not install, or it keeps going offline.
Do you need my WiFi password?
No. You type your WiFi password into the printer or your computer yourself while the technician talks you through it. We never need to know it.
Is it a new printer or one that stopped working?
We help with both. We set up new printers out of the box and add existing printers to new computers and phones. If a printer that used to work has stopped, tell us on the call and we will say whether it is a setup problem we can fix.
What if my printer is too old?
Tell us the model on the call. If the manufacturer no longer provides a driver for your version of Windows or macOS, we tell you before any work starts, so you do not pay for a setup that cannot work.
Which countries do you serve?
We serve customers across Australia and New Zealand. Call our Australian toll-free line, 1800 865 194; you are quoted in Australian dollars.

How to Set Up, Install and Add a Printer in Windows 11
Whether you are setting up a new printer, installing a wireless printer on your WiFi, or adding an existing printer to a laptop or desktop, Windows 11 does it all from one place in Settings. Follow these four steps to add your printer and install its driver. If the printer does not show up, or Windows cannot find the driver, our team can help you finish the printer setup.
10-second silent overview of adding a printer, playing on a loop. The four steps below show where to click on your own laptop or computer.
01
Open Printers & Scanners in Settings
Turn the printer on first. On your laptop or computer, open Settings, choose Bluetooth & devices, then Printers & scanners. This is where Windows 11 lists every installed printer and where you start any new printer setup, whether it connects by WiFi, USB cable or your office network.
Choose thisIllustration: choose Printer and Scanner as the device type to add
02
Click Add Device to Find Your Printer
Click Add device at the top of the page. Windows searches for printers it can install. To add a wireless printer, make sure the printer and your computer are on the same WiFi network. To add a USB printer, plug the cable in now.
Wait for the search to finish, then choose your printer from the list and click Add device beside it. Check that the name matches the model printed on the front of your printer, so the right printer is added to your computer. If your printer is not listed, that is the most common point where people need help.
Select your printerSelect your printer from the list. Check the name matches the model printed on your printer ("HP Office" is only an example).
04
Install the Driver and Print a Test Page
Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the printer installation. Windows usually installs the printer driver automatically; if it cannot, download the driver from the manufacturer's official website. When setup is complete the printer appears in your list as ready. Print a test page to confirm the printer is installed and working.
Ready to printThe printer now shows "Connected, Ready". Print a test page to confirm.
Fix It Yourself: WiFi, Driver and USB Printer Help
Quick checks that fix a surprising number of printer problems. They are free to try, and if they do not work you know it is time to talk to us. Jump straight to your problem:
Many homes and offices have two network names (for example "Home" and "Home-5G" or a guest network). Print the printer's network report from its menu, or check its screen, and compare the network name with the one your computer or phone is using. If they differ, join the printer to the same one. and we will walk you through it.
Is the printer trying to join a 5 GHz network?
Many home printers can only join a 2.4 GHz WiFi network. If your router shows separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network names, connect the printer to the 2.4 GHz one, then run the printer's wireless setup again from its control panel.
Open Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners, select the printer and choose Remove. Then open Settings › Windows Update, install any waiting updates and restart. Add the printer again; Windows will try to install a fresh driver.
Where do I get the right printer driver?
Only from the manufacturer's official support website. Search for your exact model number and pick the driver for your version of Windows or macOS. We never host driver downloads ourselves. .
Turn the printer on and plug the cable straight into a USB port on the computer, not into a hub or dock. Windows normally adds the printer by itself within a minute; check Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners. On a Mac, open System Settings › Printers & Scanners and choose Add Printer, Scanner or Fax.
The USB printer does not appear
Try a different USB port, then a different cable. If you are using the manufacturer's setup software, follow its order: some printers must only be plugged in when the installer asks for it. Still nothing? .
Restart in the right order: router, then printer, then computer
Turn the router off for 30 seconds and back on. Wait until its lights settle, then switch the printer off and on, then restart the computer. This clears stuck IP addresses, which cause most "printer offline" messages.
Is the printer set as the default, and is the queue clear?
On Windows open Settings › Bluetooth & devices › Printers & scanners, select your printer and open the print queue; cancel anything stuck there. On Mac, open System Settings › Printers & Scanners and check the queue the same way. A single stuck job can block everything behind it.
Two Things Most Printer Setups Get Wrong
Most "my printer stopped working" problems come down to the wrong or missing driver, or a WiFi connection that was never made stable.
Why the Printer Driver Is So Important
The driver is the translator between your computer and your printer. Without the right one, the printer either does not work at all or works badly.
What the driver does
Translation: converts documents into the exact language your printer model understands
Features: unlocks two-sided printing, paper trays, colour settings and scanning
Status: reports ink, toner, paper jams and errors back to your computer
Stability: wrong or outdated drivers cause "offline" errors, spooler crashes and poor print quality
Security: manufacturers patch driver vulnerabilities; old drivers leave a gap
We never: host or distribute printer drivers or software, ask you to install anything other than the manufacturer's official software, request payment by gift card or wire transfer, or claim to be the manufacturer. Drivers are always downloaded from the manufacturer's official website.
