how to install a printer
Installing a printer can seem like a daunting task for the computer novice, but in reality it is fairly straightforward.  When purchasing the printer, you should have received an installation disc which contains all the vital files for installing the printer.  If you don't have the disc, that isn't necessarily a problem as the files can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website as required.  If you do have the disc, you should insert it into the CD drive of your computer before attempting to install. Locate the 'Add Printer' wizard, usually found in the Settings menu/Control Panel on most Windows OS.  Alternatively, the 'Printers and Faxes' option from the Start Menu should be selected where present.  Follow the onscreen installation steps, selecting affirmatively to 'Have Disc', before proceeding to select the printer driver relevant to your model.  If you don't have the disc, simply redirect the wizard to the location of the driver you downloaded from the manufacturer's website before completing the installation process.
