If you are using Windows XP
Chances are it will have a driver ready for the printer
If not, you can search the net
Type in the model and locate the correct driver for installation
Hope this will be of some help to you
Happy printing

As you have mentioned that you do not have the installation disk you can download and install the drivers for the printer from the web page.
If you are using any HP printer then visit the HP.com web site and at the bottom left of the web page you can see the option of Software&Drivers Download to download the drivers for the printer. Just enter the appropriate printer model you are using and then select the appropriate operating system you are using and then proceed with the installation process.

First of all go to the printer manufacturers site and download the driver for that model.
Then connect your printer to the power supply, and connect your printer leads to your computer but do not switch it on.
install your software and then switch on your printer windows should find the new hardware and complete the installation
Otherwise click on start, printers and faxes then add a printer and do it that way

No need to by drivers ,simply go to printers web site and download .They are usually in a section called "support".Failing that go to Driverguide.com.
You could also allow Windows XP to allocate a generic driver .

Just look-up your model of printer online. The drivers should be on the manufacturers website.

The manufacturer may have a web site where you can download the driver.

Windows has a whole load of built-in drivers, including "generic" ones, which usually work fine. However, it is always best to download the latest one from the device manufacturer, if you can.
