I need to hook up our home printer to my PC so that I can print.  The printer is an HP LaserJetPro MFP M227fdw.   Up to now my wife has been doing all the printing at home.  I have been printing in the office but recently retired and now need to be able to print at home without sending everything I want to print to my wife.  How can I download and activate the printer driver.

 

When I tried to install it, the system asked me for the printer's IP address.  I don't know that, nor do I know where to find it.  The virtual assistant tried to tell me how to find the IP address, but the display on my printer does not correspond to what the virtual assistant told me I should be seeing.
