using a printer
Refer to the user manual that came with your printer for instructions on
connecting and using the printer.
Printers receive instructions from your PC via software called printer drivers. In
many cases your PC automatically finds the necessary printer driver. If it does
not, follow instructions that come with your printer to install the specific printer
driver that it requires.
You can print text and graphics from most software programs and Internet sites
if you have a printer connected to your PC and the necessary software installed
for the printer.
To print:
1 Click File on the menu bar.
2 Click Print.
3 Select your printing options:
• Select the printer.
• Choose the page range (for example, all pages, current page, range of
pages).
• Determine the number of copies.
• Select all, odd, or even pages in a range.
4 Click OK.
