Connecting a printer

NOTE
NOTE
You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer
through the USB ports. To determine if the printer is USB-
compatible, check its documentation.
To achieve the connection, you need a suitable USB cable,
which may come with your printer. You can purchase one
from a computer or electronics store.
To connect a USB printer:
Installing additional memory (optional)
Read the documentation that came with your printer. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions when connecting a local
printer.
You must supply the proper printer cable. If one did not come
with your printer, you may purchase one from an electronics or
computer store.
If your printer is ECP- or IEEE-compliant, make sure your
printer cable is an IEEE 1284 cable.
Your printer documentation may require you to install the
printer software before physically connecting the printer to
your computer. If you do not install the software as instructed
by the printer manufacturer, the printer may not function
correctly.
Never connect the printer cable while the computer's power is
on. Doing so may damage the printer, the computer, or both.
