Dear Printer Owner,
Installing and configuring a new printer, scanner or multi-function device can often seem like an impossible task but rather than pull your hair out trying to get it sorted, why not call us and we'll sort it out, including full training on how to use your device!
There are dozens of different brands out there and unless you've got an Apple device, installing it can be tricky and time consuming. You'll need the local driver installed, plus you'll need to put the device on your home wireless network unless it comes with Airplay or Wi-Fi Direct which makes the process a little more streamlined.
The issue most our our clients face is when they are running Windows S mode on their laptop or tablet. Great for security, bad for when you need a print driver or app that isn't in the Microsoft store.
We've worked with nearly all major printer and scanner manufacturers including Epson, Brother, HP, Fujifilm, Sharp and Canon, so know our way around the configuration and process for getting them installed.
Further we can look at your personal situation and make a recommendation on the best setup. If your friends and family need to print, it makes little sense to have a USB setup, while if you want your scans to end up directly in Xero, you'd likely want a network solution.
Most printers and scanners can be setup in under an hour, and with the help of the manufacturer, nearly all printers can be fixed or the issue identified fast if issues arise such as needing a new toner, drum or replacement power supply.
Finally, if you're in the market for a new printer, scanner or multi-function device, speak to one of the team about the best option for you. Cheap and cheerful is good, but nearly always a challenge to install so factor this in when choosing one to buy.

Common Kapiti Printer Tasks
Frequently Asked Printer Questions
What type of printer should I buy in 2024?
We believe the best value for money is an ink tank printer due to cheap ink costs. Cheaper printers come with expensive cartridges or mono drums that cost $100-$200 each time they need replacing. Ink tank printers are more expensive initially but are very cheap to run and top-up - with some users getting over 2,000 pages from one tank of ink.
Ink tank printers start at around $400 - please speak to us about supplying and installing one.
Why is my printer not printing anything?
Check the following:
- Ensure the printer is turned on and properly connected (via cable or wireless).
- Verify the paper tray is not empty and no paper jams are present.
- Check if the printer is set as the default printer in the system's settings.
- Ensure that the printer’s drivers are up-to-date.
- Look for any error messages on the printer display panel or the computer.
How do I scan a document from my printer to my Windows computer?
Follow these steps:
- Place the document on the scanner glass or in the document feeder.
- Open the Windows Scan app by searching for "Scan" in the Start menu.
- Select your printer from the list of available scanners.
- Adjust the scan settings, such as file type and resolution.
- Click Preview to check the scan, then select Scan to complete the process.
- Save the scanned document to your preferred location.
How do I find the location of my scanned documents in Windows?
By default, most scanning software saves files to the Pictures folder under Scans.
You can also specify the save location before scanning by clicking Browse or adjusting the software settings.
To find a scan later, search for the file name or open Windows Scan and check the recent scan history.
