new Dell Photo All-In One Printer 924
when i put the cd in the laptop to install, it shows its has already been installed to the computer, but when i want to print something nothing happens. what do i do, to get my printer working. do i need to have my computer hooked up to the printer to print? i have tried going to control pannel and adding a printer, but i dont know the name/and when it searches for the printer, nothing is found.

I think you give the answer in your question. The printer must be attached to the PC in order for it to print.

Yes, the computer has to be connected to the printer to print! It's not psychic! Some printers have wireless capability, some can be connected to your router, and all can connect right to your computer with a printer cable. Read the instruction book. Everything has directions and they're usually right.

<>You need to connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable, which will NOT be supplied with the printer. You will have to purchase it separately from an electronics store, like Radio Shack.
