Automatic Driver Use
Plug the printer power cord into a nearby outlet and then plug the USB cable into an open USB port on your running computer system. Wait a few minutes for Windows to recognize the new USB printer. The new device wizard should install the necessary native Windows printer drivers for use with your system. Click the Windows Start button on the taskbar and then select “Devices and Printers” from the menu. Look for your printer on the Devices listing under the Printers and Faxes section to verify the printer addition. If the printer is not listed, you will need to add it manually.

Select to use the recommended driver and click “Next.” Type the printer name into the Name field and click “Next.” Select whether to share or not to share the printer with other devices on the network and click “Next.” Click “Finish” to complete the installation process and make your printer ready for use.
