Hi @BubbaRocky,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To add your HP DeskJet 2548 printer to your new HP All-in-One 27 Desktop PC running Windows 11, you can follow these general steps. The process involves ensuring your printer is ready, connecting it to your network if using it wirelessly, and then adding it to your PC through Windows settings or with HP's software. Here's how you can do it:

Ensure Your Printer is Ready

1. Turn on your HP DeskJet 2548 printer.
2. Check if it has paper loaded and sufficient ink.
3. If you're connecting the printer via Wi-Fi, ensure it's connected to the same network as your PC.

Connect Printer to Network (If Using Wi-Fi)

• If your printer isn’t already connected to Wi-Fi, you might need to use the HP Smart app or the printer’s built-in Wi-Fi setup wizard.

Add Printer to Windows 11 PC

You can add the printer using Windows settings or HP's recommended software.

Using Windows Settings

1. Open Settings: Click on the Start menu, then select “Settings” (gear icon).
2. Go to Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.
3. Click on Add device. Windows will search for available printers.
4. Select your HP DeskJet 2548 from the list and follow the on-screen instructions to add it.

If Windows doesn’t find your printer, click on “Add manually” and follow the prompts, which may include adding it by IP address or setting it up as a local printer.

Using HP Software

1. Download and install the HP Smart app from the Microsoft Store or the HP website.
2. Open the HP Smart app and follow the setup instructions to add your printer. This app can help manage printer connections and installations more smoothly.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
