If needed, swipe right/left on the top of the home screen to find the Add Printer option. Note: Only 2.4 GHz connection supported.

You can't install apps from the Microsoft Store when connected to a VPN. Connect to the VPN again after finishing printer setup. Note: Consider your location and the security of the Wi-Fi network before disconnecting from a VPN.
