just check out the instructions its for both inkjet and laser printers. When installing a new printer with the Add Printer Wizard, you can choose between adding a local printer (one that's directly cabled to your computer through one of the ports) or a network printer (a printer that's connected to your network with an Ethernet connection, just as your computer is connected to the LAN).
To install a new local printer with the Add Printer Wizard, follow these steps:

8. Click the Next button to advance to the Name Your Printer dialog box.

If your network printer is on a network that uses an Internet address and you know this URL address, click the Connect to a Printer on the Internet or on a Home or Office Network radio button and then enter the address in the URL text box. If you know neither of these pieces of information, leave the Browse for a Printer radio button selected and then click Next to advance to the Browse for Printer dialog box.

I have a H-P Compaq Presario A900 Notebook PC and it came with a Canon Pixma MX310 all in one printer. It has windows vista 2007 on it (computer) and one of the instructions says to open the vista program and I don't understand what that means. Also the printer did'nt come with a usb cable. I have wireless internet if that matters. I don't understand how to hook it up to the computer and I followed the instructions. Help
