The printer model number typically looks something like this K144HS0. If you have a Citizen Printer you might see it already installed typically starring with a C-#### or CT-####.
If the citizen printer is not installed, click Add Printer or Scanner. If it is installed be sure that there are no errors and the drive is up to date. You can use this link to download the Citizen Driver for your printer.
