what type of disk is required for loading a printer driver from the internet to another computer?

Question

other computer not online and printer drivers disappeared

Answer 1

Printer driver software is really small. You can put it on a floppy disk.

Or, you can put it on a zip disk, or jump drive, or burn it to a CD or a DVD...

Answer 2

That depends. What are the choices for each of the computers? With luck the one on the internet has a cd or dvd writer, and the other one has at least a cd or dvd reader. Some drivers are small enough to use a floppy disk, but a lot of computers don't have them anymore.

You could also use a flash drive.

There is no set disk style required. The only real qualification is that it holds the entire driver, can be written on one computer, and can be read on the other.

Answer 3

Hook up your printer. Turn on computer. Click on Start, select Control Panel, select Printers/Fax, select add printer, follow directions and when it asks if you have a disk or want to add it automatically(recommended), select the auto. It should have your printer on file with drivers.

Answer 4

Use a USB Flash Drive it is faster than using cd's or floppy's. Some computers don't even have the floppy drives anymore.

Answer 5

depends on how big the driver is... can probably use a floppy if you have one... would suggest getting a usb flash drive. Dont buy it in a store though, order it off of newegg.com, save yourself the 300% markup

Answer 6

Why mess with a disk, get the other compter on the internet and download it to the right machine, instead of saving when you download just select RUN, and it will install directly.

Answer 7

Oall read and copy media but you can't use cd because is read only try with floppy disk.Thank you.

Answer 8

you should only need a usb bar or a cd-r of which the .dll file has to be uploaded to.
