Connecting a local printer
Before you can connect a printer, you need a suitable USB
printer cable, which may have been provided with your
printer. Otherwise, you can purchase one from a computer or
electronics store.
Your printer documentation may require you to install the
printer software before physically connecting the printer to
your computer. If you do not install the software as instructed
by the printer manufacturer, the printer may not function
correctly.
Never connect the printer cable while the computer’s power is
on. Doing so may damage the printer, the computer, or both.
Read the documentation that came with your printer. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when connecting a local
printer.
You must supply the proper printer cable. If one did not come
with your printer, you may purchase one from an electronics or
computer store.
If your printer is ECP- or IEEE-compliant, make sure your
printer cable is an IEEE 1284 cable.
These instructions assume you have a USB printer. Consult
the document that came with your printer to verify the
connection type.
