Installing your old printer or
scanner
Windows may have built-in support for older printers, scanners, or other
peripheral devices. This means you do not need any additional software. Newer
devices, however, usually require your original software installation CDs or
diskettes.
If you have trouble after you install the software for your old devices, you can
use System Restore to restore your computer's previous settings.
