Installing printer and software for local printing using Windows

Note: Some Windows operating systems require that you have administrative access to install printer
software (drivers) on the computer.
3 Click Agree to accept the license agreement.

The Suggested option is the default installation for local setup. If you need to install utilities, change
settings, or customize device drivers, select Custom. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.

done in step 1 should satisfy the plug and play requirements. When plug and play is finished, a printer
object will appear in your Printers folder.
