Installing Printer Software
You can install the printer software for local printing or network
printing. To install the printer software on the computer,
perform the appropriate installation procedure depending on
the printer in use.
A printer driver is software that lets your computer
communicate with your printer. The procedure to install drivers
may differ depending on the operating system you are using.
All applications should be closed on your PC before beginning
installation.
Installing Software for Local Printing
A local printer is a printer directly attached to your computer
using the printer cable supplied with your printer, such as a USB
or parallel cable. If your printer is attached to a network, skip
this step and go to “Installing Software for Network Printing” on
page 7.
You can install the printer software using the typical or custom
method.
