Printer Installation

Printer installation generally consists of two parts: connecting the printer to the computer and installing the printer driver within the operating system. For a USB printer, simply connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and the other to the computer's USB port without turning off either the computer or the printer.
After connecting the printer to the computer as described above, turn on the printer first, then turn on the computer.
Once the operating system loads, it will detect the printer and indicate that a driver must be installed to use it. Some operating systems (such as Windows 7) come with a large library of drivers and can automatically install drivers for most common printers. If the operating system does not include a driver for your specific printer, you will need to insert the driver disc (floppy disk or CD-ROM) provided with the printer and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Select "Local Printer" if the printer is connected directly to your computer; select "Network Printer" (or similar option) if the printer is connected to another computer on the network. For this example, select "Local Printer." After clicking, the system will display a list of manufacturers and printer models; you can select the appropriate driver from the list provided by Windows. If the specific printer model is not listed, you can install the manufacturer-provided driver included with the printer. For instance, on Windows 2000/XP, connecting the USB printer prompts the system to detect new hardware; follow the prompts to insert the driver disc into the drive and click "OK." The system will search for the driver; once found, click "OK" again to begin copying files and installing the driver. Finally, when notified that installation is complete, click "Finish."
