Installing a Printer Driver
A driver is a program that controls a device, such as a printer, and allows it to
interface with your computer. All devices require a driver program.
Printer drivers are shipped on a CD along with the printer.
You may need to install or reinstall printer drivers if you:
• Upgrade your operating system
• Reinstall your operating system
• Connect or install a new printer
To install a printer driver:
1 Insert your Drivers and Utilities media.
If this is your first time to use your Drivers and Utilities media, continue
to step 2. If not, proceed to step 5.
2 When the Drivers and Utilities installation program starts, follow the
prompts on the screen.
NOTE:
In most cases, the Drivers and Utilities program starts automatically. If it
does not, start Windows Explorer, click your media drive directory to display the
media contents, and then double-click the
autorcd.exe file.
3 When the InstallShield Wizard Complete window appears, remove the
Drivers and Utilities media and click Finish to restart the computer.
4 When you see the Windows desktop, reinsert the Drivers and Utilities
media.
