Get your printer plugged in and ready to roll

Before you can configure a printer in Bustle, it needs to be connected to your network and powered up. Most printers are good to go with a quick plug-in to the router, but some models need a little extra nudge to get started.

If you hit a snag, don’t sweat it - reach out to our support team and let us know where you’re stuck. We’ll help get things humming.
