Lucky
for you, there are a couple other things you can do to get your printer
installed. People lose their printer installation disks all the time
and because of that, manufacturers are implementing new methods that
make everything easier. These days, most printer manufacturers are
including downloads on their Web sites for the software and drivers
that are needed to use their products.
So,
if you've lost your printer installation disk, simply go to the manufacturer's
Web site and look it up. For example, let's say you have an HP printer.
For that, go to
www.hp.com and click
on the link that says
Software and Driver Downloads.
You can then choose the task you want to complete and enter in the
type of printer you have. It even gives you examples to follow to
make the whole process easier.
Once
you find your printer type, just follow the rest of the directions
and you'll be on your way to downloading exactly what you need. You
can then install your printer with ease and go back to business as
usual. As long as you have a fairly new printer, this method will
work. Luckily, manufacturers have been doing this for awhile now,
so you shouldn't have any trouble finding the type of printer you
have.
Now,
if you don't care for that method, there is one other thing you can
do. You can contact your manufacturer and request a copy of your installation
disk. Chances are, they'll refer you to their Web site, but if you'd
really rather have a hard copy of the disk, they should be able to
send you one in the mail. Of course, you will have to wait for it
to arrive, but it can be done. If you're not in a big rush to get
your printer installed, this may work better for you anyway. Otherwise,
I would suggest getting what you need from the manufacturer's Web
site.
Either
way, you'll be able to install your printer and go on your merry way. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
