One of the most important peripheral devices for a computer is a printer. Print photos, print interesting web articles, save e-mails on paper - all this requires this device. Connecting a printer is easy, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
It is necessary
To connect, you need a printer driver and a USB cable connecting it to your computer. But if the driver is always included with the printer when purchased on a special CD, then the cable must be purchased separately. No need to skimp on cable, good shielded wire will protect the printer from interference and errors. It is also not worth purchasing a cable with a margin of length, the shorter the cable, the lower the probability of errors in data transmission
Instructions
Step 1
If you do not have a printer driver disc, download the driver from the manufacturer's website. You can often download an updated version of the software for your device from these sites. Therefore, you can check if there is an updated driver on the website even if you have a disk with drivers. In the latest drivers, the manufacturer fixes the errors of previous versions, supplements the software with new functions and makes it faster.
Step 2
Insert the disc into the drive, or run the downloaded program. Follow the instructions in the installer. When the program asks to connect the printer, plug the USB cable into the printer and into the computer port, turn on the printer. The installation will continue automatically. Sometimes you need to restart your computer after installation. If the driver prompts you to do this, agree to reboot.
