Connecting a printer
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.1.2
You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer
through the USB ports. To determine if the printer is USB-
compatible, check its documentation.
To achieve the connection, you need a suitable USB cable,
which may come with your printer. You can purchase one
from a computer or electronics store.
To connect a printer:
1 Connect the USB cable to the USB port.
2 Connect the printer’s power cable to a wall outlet.
3 Turn on the printer.
Setting up a printer
If you started your computer with a printer connected and
turned on, it may have been detected automatically. If this is
not the case, then you must install the printer driver for the
model of printer that is connected to your computer. You
install the printer driver either by following the instructions
indicated in your printer manual, or by using the operating
system’s Add Printer Wizard.
If you plan to set up a printer later, click Cancel.
Using the Add Printer Wizard
To set up a printer with the Add Printer Wizard:
1 Click Start, Control Panel.
2 Click Printers and Other Hardware.
3 Click Printers and Faxes.
The Printers and Faxes window appears.
