What's the easiest way to connect Windows-XP or Windows 2000 to your printer?
|
The simplest way to connect your XP or Windows 2000 machine to your printer is by this
method:
Go into your printer control panel, and double-click on the Add Printer
icon.
Click next until you come to the screen that asks if the printer is a local
or network printer. This may sound strange, but make sure you have Local
Printer selected. Click next.
At the next screen you want to create a new printer port. Select that
option, using a Standard TCP/IP port in the drop-down box, and click next.
Another wizard will pop up, click next until you come to the Add Port
screen. Input this number in the text box asking for Printer Name or IP
Address. Simply put the name of the printer there.
Click next, and Windows will ask for the drivers needed. Select from the
list the kind of printer you have. The rest of the wizard is
self-explanatory.
