Setting up your printer
Setting up a printer involves selecting a printer driver. This special

the printer can understand.

programs, set up a printer
driver for each of those programs. Refer to your program’s
documentation for more information.

your computer. The manufacturer’s disk may include
additional drivers and fonts.
