I cannot find the Windows® taskbar.
The Windows taskbar may be hidden or minimized.
❑Use the mouse to locate a hidden taskbar by pointing to the left, right, top,
and bottom edges of the screen. The taskbar appears when the cursor is
placed over its location.
1Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties from the shortcut menu.
2Clear the check box for Autohide the taskbar, then click OK.
❑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.
How do I install a printer?
❑To install your printer, follow these steps:
1Click Start in the Windows taskbar, then click Control Panel.
2Click Printers and Other Hardware, then click Add a Printer.
3From the Add Printer Wizard, click Next.
4Select Local Printer, then click Next.
5Select the appropriate port, usually LPT1, and then click Next.
6Select the appropriate printer manufacturer and model.
7Follow the onscreen instructions to print a test page and complete
printer installation.
✍Place a check mark in the box for “Automatically detect and install my Plug and
Play printer”, if you are installing a recently manufactured printer with Plug and Play
capability.
✍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.
