Laserjet guide - Install a printerInstall a printerHow do you generally install a LaserJet printer on a standalone computer? Most printer manufacturers ship a setup CD for printer installation. Others put a zip file containing the driver, UI, helper dlls and a inf file.
Vendors frequently release newer versions of their software in the download sections of their websites, which include defect fixes and workarounds for printer defects. So, if you are having trouble with the printer software, you may want to check vendor sites for a newer version of the software. If it is a setup application, the easy to follow instructions lets you to install the driver easily. I have written a guide to installing printers following setup programs within my printer guides section. If it is an archive comprising of several files, unpack the archive into a folder. The best thing to do is create a new folder on your desktop by right clicking, then selecting new folder, name it printer drivers. You can then move the folder to somewhere else on your hard drive when you are done with the install.
1) Go to “Printers and Faxes” Folder and click the “Add a printer” Printer Task.
A Pop-Up ‘Add Printer Wizard” Dialog pops up. Click the Next button.
 2) Choose the local installation. Click next.  3) Select the port to which the printer is connected and choose next. Many printers now use the USB port, so, try and make sure you select the correct port. 
4) Choose the Have Disk option , if the driver is not listed in the “Manufacturers” and “Printers” section.  5) Browse to the directory on your desktop called printer drivers where the Driver Files where unpacked, and point to the .INF File. Click OK.  6) Choose the Printer Model you have bought and Click Next. 7) Follow the remaining sheets providing intuitive choice for “whether to set the printer as default”, “sharing the printer” and “printing test page”. You have installed the printer. Now you can print from any application. To learn how to install a printer from the cd, read the first few review, guides in >this section here.
