Printer setup in Forest Hill

Forest Hill’s family homes around Horniman Gardens and the Victorian terraces off the high street typically have a new printer sitting in its box longer than expected — the wireless setup wizard stalls, the driver won’t install cleanly on macOS, or it works from one laptop but ignores everyone else’s devices. These are the jobs we deal with regularly from SE23. The most common issue we see is a printer that connects to Wi-Fi but refuses to print from Apple devices. AirPrint needs to be enabled correctly in the printer’s web interface, and some routers in older Forest Hill properties use settings that block device discovery. We fix this during setup so it works from iPhones and iPads as well as laptops from the start. For existing printers that have stopped working — often after a Windows update or macOS upgrade — remote support usually resolves driver and spooler problems without any visit needed. If a physical visit is required, we’re 25–35 minutes from Forest Hill via the South Circular. Full details on our printer setup service page. For local coverage, see our Forest Hill area page. Contact us or call 020 7610 0500.
