The most common way to install a printer is to connect it directly to your computer. This is known as a local printer.
If your printer is a universal serial bus (USB) model, Windows should automatically detect it and begin installation when you plug it in.
If you're installing a wireless printer that connects to your computer over a wireless network (Wi‑Fi), you can use the Add a device wizard to install the printer. For instructions, see Connect to Bluetooth and other wireless or network devices.
If it's an older model that connects using the serial or parallel port, you might have to install it manually.
To install (add) a local printer
Open Devices and Printers by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then, on the Start menu, clicking Devices and Printers.
Click Add a printer.
In the Add Printer wizard, click Add a local printer.
On the Choose a printer port page, make sure that the Use an existing port button and the recommended printer port are selected, and then click Next.
On the Install the printer driver page, select the printer manufacturer and model, and then click Next.
If your printer isn't listed, click Windows Update, and then wait while Windows checks for additional drivers.
If none are available and you have the installation CD, click Have Disk, and then browse to the folder where the printer driver is located. (For additional help, consult the printer manual.)
Complete the additional steps in the wizard, and then click Finish.

Well, first connect your printer with computer via USB or other available port. Make sure that you have installed all the drivers with available CD/DVD (came with Printer).... If you don't got CD then you can manually install driver and printer from control panel > Devices and Printers and selecting add printer.
