    - If you can't find the printer model, click the **Windows Update** button. In a few minutes the available selection of printer models will be much larger.
    - If you still can’t find the printer model, you will have to browse your computer to find it manually: 
        - Click **Have Disk**
        - Click the **Browse** button
        - Navigate to the folder you saved your driver in (if you chose the automatic destination, it should be in a folder with the printer manufacturer name, such as **Xerox**)
        - Click on the **driver file** and click **open**
        - Click **OK**
        - Now you should see the printer model. Select it and click **Next**.
    - If this manual process is unsuccessful, you may have installed your driver incorrectly. Be sure to restart your computer after install, as this is important to complete the process. Also try a manual install of the driver itself if the automatic install does not seem to work (follow the instructions above to do so).
8. If the installer detects that the driver is already installed, select **Replace the current driver** and click **Next**.[![8.PNG](https://kb.mlml.sjsu.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/scaled-1680-/KrO8.PNG)](https://kb.mlml.sjsu.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/KrO8.PNG)

10. If the option exists, select **Do not share this printer** and click **Next**.[![10.PNG](https://kb.mlml.sjsu.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/scaled-1680-/10.PNG)](https://kb.mlml.sjsu.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/10.PNG)
11. Rather than clicking the Print a test page button, complete the printer installation procedure and print a document you need as not to waste paper.
12. Click **Finish. [![11.png](https://kb.mlml.sjsu.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/scaled-1680-/11.png)](https://kb.mlml.sjsu.edu/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/11.png)**
