        "content": "Here\u2019s how to see which printers are installed (and any issues) on your Windows 11 laptop using just the keyboard with JAWS. I\u2019ll walk you through two paths: using **Settings** (modern view) and using the **classic Devices and Printers** view. I\u2019ll also include JAWS keystroke tips so you can move around with confidence.\n\n---\n\n## Path 1: Using Settings \u2192 Printers & Scanners\n\n1. Press **Windows key + I**  \n   *This opens the Settings app.*  \n2. Press **Tab** until you hear \u201cSearch box, find a setting\u201d and/or \u201cSettings window\u201d  \n3. Type **Printers & scanners**  \n4. Press **Enter**  \n   *This jumps to the *Printers & scanners* page inside *Bluetooth & devices*. You\u2019ll hear a list of installed printers.* ([pureinfotech.com](https://pureinfotech.com/view-installed-printers-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. Use the **Down Arrow** key to move through the list of printers. With JAWS active, it will read each printer name and basic status (like \u201cReady,\u201d \u201cOffline,\u201d etc.). If you press **Tab**, you\u2019ll hit buttons like *Add a printer or scanner*.  \n\n6. When you want details on a specific printer (for example, to see the print queue or remove a printer):\n   - Use the **Down Arrow** to select the printer  \n   - Press **Enter** to open its device page  \n   - Then press **Tab** until you find *Open print queue* and press **Enter** if you need to see pending print jobs. ([cus.prod.support.services.microsoft.com](https://cus.prod.support.services.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/view-a-printer-s-print-queue-in-windows-71505b3a-ba6b-14b2-b7f9-fd6204675ab5?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## Path 2: Using the Classic \"Devices and Printers\" (Control Panel)\n\nSometimes you need features that aren\u2019t in the modern Settings view (older printer options, driver info, etc.). Here\u2019s how to open the classic version:\n\n1. Press **Windows key + R** to open the Run dialog.  \n2. Type `control printers` and press **Enter**  \n   *This opens the \u201cDevices and Printers\u201d window.* ([geekchamp.com](https://geekchamp.com/how-to-access-devices-and-printers-in-windows-11/?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. Use the **Tab** key until you reach the list/grid of printers.  \n4. Use the **Arrow keys** to move through the list. JAWS will read each printer name.  \n5. Once a printer is selected, press **Shift+F10** or **Application Key** to open its context menu if you want to remove it, see properties, or set as default.  \n\n---\n\n## Additional JAWS Navigation & Keystroke Tips\n\nThese commands help you move around more efficiently with JAWS:\n\n- The **JAWS modifier key** is usually **Insert** (or Numpad 0 on a desktop layout), or **Caps Lock** (on laptop layout) ([vispero.com](https://vispero.com/resources/short-note-on-jaws-keyboard-layouts/?utm_source=openai))  \n- To read continuously from the cursor: **JAWS + Down Arrow** (Say All) ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-keyboard.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- To read the current line: **JAWS + Up Arrow** ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-keyboard.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- To know what window you're in or what the title is: **JAWS + T** ([srt.csb-cde.ca.gov](https://srt.csb-cde.ca.gov/jaws/jaws-keyboard.html?utm_source=openai))  \n- To open the JAWS key help layer: **JAWS + 1** (this puts you in keyboard help mode so when you press a key it will tell you what that key combination does rather than doing it) ([docest.com](https://docest.com/doc/456751/list-of-commands-for-jaws?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which method you prefer (modern Settings vs. classic Control Panel), I can give you a more detailed walkthrough with exact keystrokes tuned to that. Do you want that?"
