Answer 1

First step in installing a printer or any driver is that YOU must plug it in and let the computer take a few seconds to detect the hardware and once that is done it's going to ask you for software usually it's in the CD that will allow the computer to read from and install from and that's the first basic and final part of installing a printer after that nothing else is hard to do except trying to find out which button to press to print, scan, copy etc...

noow if you do not have the CD, or driver file for that printer then you will need to go to http:\\www.driverguide.com and sign up there are very good so you will then goto search wizrard and select your category which will be printers and look for the model BJC-2010 COLOR BUBBLE JET PRINTER

and that's how easy it is to install.

Connect a printer directly to your computer
Most new printers support Plug and Play, while many older printers do not. The steps involved in installing a printer that is attached to your computer differ depending on whether it supports Plug and Play.


My printer supports Plug and Play.

My printer does not support Plug and Play.


If you are unsure whether your printer supports Plug and Play, consider the following:

Does your printer use infrared technology? If it does, your printer supports Plug and Play.
Consult the owner's manual or packaging of your printer. Most printer manufacturers advertise the fact that their printer supports Plug and Play. Look for Plug and Play on the printer's list of features.
Check the connector on the end of the printer cable that you plug into your computer.
If the connector that attaches the printer cable to the computer is a USB connector, then the printer supports Plug and Play.

Answer 4

It's just a printer, right? Not a printer/fax machine/copier/telephone? If that's so, then you should just be able to plug it in and it should work. If not, they need to find a way to make it easier.

For me, all I had to do was connect the wires.
