Installing A Printer Driver

To install a new printer:

1.Double-click Printers

2.Double-click Add Printer

Windows 98 allows printers to be connected directly to your computer via a parallel or serial port or to your network.

If the printer is connected to your local area network, you must ensure that your print information is passed to the network, rather than to the local output port on your computer.

Let's connect a local printer, one that will be connected directly to your computer's parallel port.

1. Click Next

2.Click Local printer
