Setting up your printer
with a USB Cable
What is USB?
Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to
your computer without having to open your PC. USB uses a
standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like
printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers
the benefit of being able to easily add, remove, and move
devices.
USB is an option to customers who want to print from Windows
98 across the USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is enabled
and properly set up, you can connect your HP DeskJet printer
to it or to a chain of USB devices via a USB cable.
USB Step 1: Unpack your printer
1 Remove the packing material and the packing tape from the
outside of the printer.
Note: The USB cable set up requires Windows 98. If you
are using a parallel cable for communications between
your printer and your computer, see page 3.
