4.2 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.
