Setting Up
Your Printer
A printer allows you to print
any document from this CD,
your eMail, and Web sites.
Compaq registration must be
complete before you plug in
your printer and run the
printer setup Disk.
Most new computers have a
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
port for a new printer that uses
the latest technology. Older
printers, which plug into a
parallel port, cannot be
connected to a USB port. Your
printer may use a USB plug
1
(rather than a parallel plug
2
)
for installation.
Note: Location and style of
connectors may vary by model.
