Install Printer Software
You can install the printer software for local printing and network printing. To
install the printer software on the computer, perform the appropriate
installation procedure depending on the printer in use. The printer software

instructions provided here are for the typical method. For custom install
instructions or further information about installing software, refer to the
System Administrator Guide.
