Install drivers for local printing
Step 7: Install drivers for local
printing
A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or
parallel cable.
For Windows operating systems, you can use the hardware wizard and
use the drivers CD to install your printer drivers. Launch the CD and
follow the instructions to install printer software.
A printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with
your printer. The procedure to install drivers depends on the operating
system you are using.
Select your operating system and cable from the table below for driver
installation instructions.
