How to Install a Printer for a Computer
Level of difficulty: Easy
Having a printer is very essential when it comes to printing documents
whether a computer is for personal home use or in the office. You can
also use high-end printers to develop quality pictures. The printer
that you would install should be appropriate to the hardware of the
computer. There are printers using the parallel port and some
prototypes connected through the Universal Service Bus (USB) port. In
order to install a printer onto a computer, you should first check the
BIOS settings if the parallel port is configured appropriately.
Materials Needed:
- Printer
- computer with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) or Extended Capabilities Port (ECP)
- printer installation CD
- Internet connection (optional)
Step 1
Turn on the computer. Wait for the computer to completely load the OS.
Step 2
Attach
the printer cable to the corresponding parallel port. After you
securely connect the printer to the computer, turn on the printer.
Windows will automatically detect the new printer and would prompt you
to install the required drivers. Some printers may not be detected
automatically by the computer. To manually detect the printer, click
the “Printers and Faxes” available on the “Start” Menu. Double click
the “Add Printer” icon to launch the Add Printer wizard. If the
computer still did not detect the attached printer, unplug and adjust
the connection of the printer to the computer.
Step 3
The
wizard would ask you to choose between a Local Printer and a Network
Printer. The computer searches for the connected printer after you
select the type of printer.
Step 4
The
computer prompts you to install the needed driver. The printer usually
comes with an installation CD which contains the drivers of the
printer. Insert the installation CD on the CD tray. The computer
automatically detects the driver files on the CD.
Step 5
You
need to manually detect the driver required for the installation just
in case the driver is not detected. Select from the predefined list of
driver software depending on the manufacturer and the model of the
printer.
Step 6
You
may now proceed to perform a Windows update if you still cannot find
the driver for your printer. You need to connect to the Internet in
order to gather components from the online Windows product support.
Step 7
The
computer finalizes the installation procedure after the driver is
successfully installed. A notification would appear informing you that
you have successfully installed the printer. A printer icon would
appear on the taskbar. This enables easy access to the configuration
and maintenance settings of your printer.

The Plug and Play Bundle provides basic printing functions.)You have to uninstall the printer already installed in your system, then you simply run this setup file and it will install drivers automatically and you should be able to get prints
