new computer will not sync/connect with Samsung printer.

[Bumper5]

I have a new computer which will not sync/connect with my Samsung printer because it does not accommodate a CD drive. How do I sync my computer to my printer over wi-fi?

Hi @Bumper5,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I understand your new computer cannot connect to your Samsung printer because it doesn’t have a CD drive. Let’s go through steps to connect your printer over Wi-Fi without using the installation CD.

1. Download the Latest Drivers

Go to the Samsung/HP Support website for your printer model.

Download the full-feature software and drivers for your operating system.

Save the file to your computer and run the installer.

2. Prepare Your Printer for Wi-Fi

Make sure the printer is powered on.

On the printer control panel, go to Network / Wi-Fi Settings → Wireless Setup.

The Wi-Fi light should start blinking, indicating the printer is ready to connect.

3. Connect via Software

Run the driver installer you downloaded.

When prompted, choose Wireless / Wi-Fi connection.

The software will search for your printer on the network.

Select your printer and enter the Wi-Fi password if prompted.

4. Confirm Connection

Once the setup completes, the printer should appear in your Devices & Printers (Windows) or Printers & Scanners (Mac).

Print a test page to confirm the connection.

5. Optional: Use Samsung Mobile or Smart App

Install the Samsung Mobile Print app (or HP Smart, if the printer is Samsung-branded under HP).

The app can also detect printers over Wi-Fi and allow printing/scanning without a CD.

6. Troubleshooting

Make sure the printer and computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Disable VPN or firewall temporarily if the installer cannot detect the printer.

If the printer is still not detected, reset network settings on the printer and try again.

I hope this helps.
