You can use your printer with Windows PC or Macintosh software applications

that allow printing.
If you already know how to use a printer with your computer, you are ready to

begin printing as usual. If you are new to printing, or if you have questions, use

this chapter to learn more.
When you print from your computer, the control panel settings on the printer do

not apply; the software on your computer overrides the print settings.
