When This Article Will Help

  • Windows 10 or Windows 11 cannot see the printer.
  • The driver installation does not finish.
  • The printer appears in the system but does not print.
  • The printer needs to be set up again after reinstalling Windows.
  • Several Pantum printers appear in the device list, and it is unclear which one is the working one.

When to Connect the Printer: Before or After Driver Installation

For this Pantum series, the safest and clearest procedure is this: first run the official Pantum installer, and only then connect the printer when the installation program reaches the stage where it asks you to choose the connection method.

In practice, it looks like this:

  1. Download and run the official Pantum driver.
  2. Accept the license agreement.
  3. Wait for the screen that shows the Wi-Fi, USB, and Wired Network options.
  4. At that stage, turn on the printer and connect it to the computer via USB.
  5. Wait until the installer detects the printer and the USB button becomes active.
  6. After that, continue the installation through the official Pantum installer.

This order reduces uncertainty for an average user: you do not connect the printer too early and do not have to guess the right moment.

If Windows shows a “New hardware found” message after connecting the printer, click “Cancel.” Do not start the standard Windows installation if you are already installing the printer through the official Pantum driver.

This helps avoid a situation where Windows assigns its own compatible driver too early, and then you have to remove it and reinstall the official Pantum driver.

What to Prepare Before Installation

  • A computer with Windows 10 or Windows 11.
  • A USB cable connected directly to the computer, without a USB hub.
  • The printer turned on.
  • Permission to install programs in Windows.

The Simplest Method: One-Click Installation

For this Pantum series, Pantum recommends using the “One-Click Install” mode. The installer provides options for USB, Wi-Fi, and wired network. If you have a regular local connection, choose USB.

Step-by-Step Installation via USB

  1. Connect the printer to the computer via USB.
  2. Turn on the printer.
  3. Download and run the Setup.exe installation file from the Pantum package.
  4. Accept the installation terms.
  5. Select the USB section.
  6. Click “One-Click Install”.
  7. Wait until the installation is complete.
  8. Click “Test Print”.

If the test page printed, the driver was installed correctly.

If the Installation Did Not Start or Did Not Finish

Try the following in order:

  1. Close the installer.
  2. Disconnect the printer from USB.
  3. Restart the computer.
  4. Reconnect the printer to a different USB port.
  5. Run the installer as administrator.

If the automatic installation did not help, use the additional installation methods inside the driver package.

How to Perform a Clean Driver Reinstallation

  1. Open Windows Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners.
  2. Remove all Pantum printers that belong to this series.
  3. Open the installed Pantum folder and run the driver removal tool if it is available.
  4. Restart the computer.
  5. Reconnect the printer via USB.
  6. Run the official Pantum V2.6.38 driver and perform the installation again.

If the Printer Is Installed but Does Not Print

Most often, the problem is no longer in the installation itself, but in Windows. Check the following points.

1. Whether the Correct Printer Is Selected

Windows may still keep an old Pantum instance. Make sure the default printer is the one that is currently installed.

2. Whether the Print Queue Is Stuck

  1. Open the list of printers.
  2. Select Pantum.
  3. Open the print queue.
  4. Delete the stuck jobs.

3. Whether the Print Spooler Service Is Running

  1. Press Win + R.
  2. Type services.msc.
  3. Find Print Spooler.
  4. Click Restart.

4. Whether Windows Selected Its Own Compatible Driver

This sometimes happens after the first connection. If the printer appeared in the system too early or has an unusual name, it is better to remove it and reinstall the official Pantum driver.

Frequently Asked Questions

The printer is not detected over USB at all

First, try a different USB port and a different cable. If the printer is still not detected, remove the old device instances from Windows and reinstall the driver.

After installation, two identical Pantum printers appeared

Leave only the working instance that prints the test page. Remove the others.

Can this driver be used for several models in the series?

Yes. The V2.6.38 package is designed as a shared series driver and is suitable for several Pantum P2200 / P2500 / P2600 / S2000 models.

When the Problem Is No Longer the Driver

If the printer shows a toner error, the orange indicator is on, it says the cartridge is empty, or it prints intermittently, the problem may no longer be the driver, but the cartridge, chip, contacts, or the paper feed mechanism.

Quick Conclusion

For Pantum printers in this series, the correct order is: connect the printer to the computer, turn it on, and only then start the official Pantum driver installation. If Windows has already added its own driver, remove it and reinstall the official Pantum V2.6.38 package.
