reset printer

I replaced my printer. Installed the new drivers. How do I reset the printer in the system prefs?


Never done anything like this before, dh did everything but he passed away. Now am proud that I set up my new printer, with wifi, and all it needs is my Mac to find it.

If it is listed as AirPrint printer, delete the existing printer in

> System Preferences> Printers & Scanners, and add it again, select AirPrint.



Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support.

If no success then you can also try reset print system if necessary:
