Installing the Printer Driver

Follow the instructions that came with the printer to install printer drivers. If no information was provided with the printer, then refer to the following instructions.

If you need to install a printer driver, insert the printer installation CD into the CD or DVD drive. Then follow the prompts on the screen using the instructions that came with the printer.

If your printer installation CD does not automatically run, click the Start button on the Microsoft® Windows® desktop, click Run, and type x:\setup.exe (where x is the letter of your CD or DVD drive [usually drive D]). Then click OK and follow the prompts on your screen. If your printer installation CD still does not run, check the documentation that came with your printer for instructions on how to start the printer installation CD.

If you connect an older printer and it doesn’t work after you install the driver, access the system setup program (see page 94) and ensure that the parallel port is set to operate in bidirectional mode.

To check if your printer driver is installed on a computer running the Windows XP operating system, click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click View installed printers or fax printers. If your computer runs either Windows 2000 or Windows Millennium Edition (Me), click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers. If your printer is listed in the Printers window, the printer is ready to use.

Transferring Information to a New Computer (Windows XP Only)

Windows XP provides a Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to move data, such as e-mails, window sizes, toolbar settings, and Internet bookmarks, from one computer to another. First you collect the data from the source computer, and then you import the data to the new computer.
