You can connect your USB printer by following a few easy steps: 1  Plug in the printer, and ensure that itâs turned off. Also, set up the printer with ink and paper and all that other good stuff, according to the directions that came with the printer. 2  Connect a USB cable to the printer and to your laptop. 3  Turn on the printer.
Businesses that need to use an older printing device to output documents can hook up legacy printers using the Add a Printer wizard, which automates the installation process. Step 1. Check the sockets on the printer to see which interface the device uses to connect to the computer. Step 2. Connect one end of the USB, parallel port or serial port cable to the printer. Step 3. Plug the other end of the cable into the serial or parallel port or the USB slot. Step 4. Connect the printer to power. If the printer is using USB, Windows automatically detects the device and adds it to the PC. Step 5. Click Start, then Devices and Printers if the printer is using an outdated interface.
