Connect the printer cable from your PC to your printer. Install the software that came with the printer. Plug the printer into a power source. Add Paper.
It should work.

Most printers today use a "USB" type of wire to connect to your computer.The first thing that they may want you to do is load some software into your computer with the Cd that came with it. The data your loading into your computer are known as the "Print Drivers". Then you will more than likely have to buy a proper "USB" wire for the printer and then attach the printer to the computer. Then you may have to calibrate the heads on the printer and print a test page or 2. Just make sure that all the packing materials have been removed from shipping and that the print heads are not locked into place or fastened down by something before you plug the printer in.

Easy !!
1) Use the USB cable to connect the printer to the back of your cpu unit that is for the printer.
2) Take your disk that came with the computer and insert it into the disk opening (NOT THE DVD) in the cpu unit.. The disk that I am talking about is the disk that concerns the installation of your new printer. Insert it and it will or should run automatically after 2-5 seconds.. let it run thru and answer all the questions that it asks for
3) AS a precautionary measure, I always go (after wards) to the start, then control panel.. then printer and hardware to add the new printer..OR.. IF YOU SEE that YOUR MODEL PRINTER is NOW on the panel screen when you bring it up.. then click out and forget this step.. you have just installed your new printer.

There must be a cable that came with the printer....plug one end into the printer and the other in the computer. Power up the printer, and for most models, the computer will find and install the necessary drivers itself and you're ready to go. Otherwise, you'll need to install the drivers from the CD that came with the printer and then you can use it.

Plug the printer into the proper port on the back of the computer and insert the installation CD that came with your printer. If you don,t have the installation CD most windows computers will recognize your printer with some input from you and help you set it up.

there is a cable that goes from your printer to your computer. most computers will have a little printer icon next to the slot in the back where the cable should go. hook those up. then there should be a cd that came with the printer. put that in your computer and follow the directions on the cd. this will install software so your computer will recognize the printer. then you are good to go. good luck!

connect power to your printer, then connect the data cable (USB or LPT) between your printer and computer, then insert the drivers CD into your PC, wait for instruction from it.

Directions usually come in the box including quick setup" ones.
In general if it is a newer computer, like with Windows XP, all you have to do is plug it in and the operating system will do all the connecting software.
