To install your printer, follow these steps:
Note:
If the printer is not included in the list and the printer manufacturer included a disk with a Windows XP Printer driver, choose Have Disk, enter the appropriate path for the disk or CD and click OK.
If the printer is not included on the list and no drivers are included with the printer, choose an alternate printer driver that your printer may emulate. Refer to the manual that came with your printer for specific emulation information.
My connected printer doesn't function after the computer resumes from a power saving mode.
Clear the printer memory by turning the printer off for approximately 10 seconds, and then turning it back on.
Use the mouse to locate a minimized taskbar by pointing to the left, right, top and bottom edges of the display screen. The taskbar has been located when the cursor changes to a double arrow cursor. Left-click and drag away from the edge of the display screen. The minimized taskbar resizes and becomes visible.
Why is my system running slowly?
The system responsiveness varies depending with the number of applications that are open and running. Close any applications that you are not currently using.
Increasing the system memory may also help. For information on installing memory, please see the online VAIO User Guide.
How do I install a printer?
If your printer has a USB, IEEE1394, or infrared connection, contact the printer manufacturer for information or updates that may be required for proper installation.
Check the printer manufacturer's Web site for the latest drivers for your operating system before proceeding with installation. Some printers do not function properly without the updated drivers for specific operating systems.
