Settings | Printers from
the

Next in the first dialog, the Wizard asks you to select between

Next and proceed directly to step 7. It

whether to keep it or to replace it.

Next.
8. Enter an appropriate name for your printer and choose whether you want
it to be the default printer. Click
Next.
9. In the next window, do not order a Test Page to be written, just click
Finish.

(Example enter
