Series User’s Manual
You do not need to have a printer physically present to install the Windows
drivers for it. If you will be using another printer or might be transferring information to another site (such as work or home) where you will be using another printer, you can set up Windows for those printers (so that files you are working on can be set up for that printer). If the printer is one you will be connecting to your computer, you will want to set up the proper port connections for this printer. If the printer is one you will be using elsewhere, you can set up the printer on the location “File.”
Installing a Printer for Windows 2000
In order to use your printer with your WinBook notebook, you will need to load the necessary software and drivers for that printer. If your printer came with an installation disk, you can follow the instructions provided by the printer manufacturer. If not, you can follow the instructions below:
1.Start the Add Printer Wizard (Start/Settings/Printers and then double- click on Add New Printer). (Figure 4.14)
2.Once the Add Printer Wizard has started, click Next. (Figure 4.15)
3.Windows 2000 will ask how your printer is attached. If it is a local printer, click on the radio button beside that choice. If the printer is Plug and Play, click on the radio button beside that choice. Windows 2000 will detect the printer and install the necessary drivers. If the printer is not Plug and Play, do not select that radio button. Windows
