4.3 Printers
Check the printer documentation to check your printer has a
parallel interface.
If your printer did not come with a suitable printer cable, you can
purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
These instructions are for a parallel printer, the most common
type of interface.
1. Turn off your notebook.
2. Connect the printer cable to the printer and to your
notebook's parallel port.
3. Plug the printer's power cable into an electrical outlet.
For further steps, refer to the documentation that came with your
printer.
If you started your computer with a printer connected and turned
on, it may have been detected automatically (Plug and Play). If
not, then you may have to install the printer driver for your printer,
either using the instructions provided with your printer, or in
Windows XP via Start > Control Panel > Pick a Category… >
Printers or Other Hardware > Pick a task… > Add a Printer
> Add Printer Wizard or in the Control Panel Classic Interface,
Printers and Faxes > Add a Printer > Add Printer Wizard.
The Add Printer Wizard interface will take you through the steps
to connect your notebook and printer.
