Installing Printer Software

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. 
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.
You can install the printer software using the typical or custom 
method.
NOTE: If the “New Hardware Wizard” window appears during 
the installation procedure, click  in the upper right corner of 
the box to close the window, or click Cancel.
This is recommended for most users. All components necessary 
for printer operations will be installed.
