Windows 2000/XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 - Installing the printer driver using USB

Important

  • Installing a printer driver requires the Administrators permission. When you install a printer driver, log on using an account that has Administrator permission.

When the USB interface cable is used for the first time, the [Found New Hardware Wizard] dialog box appears, and Windows 2000/XP's USB Printing Support will be installed automatically.

If the printer driver is already installed, the “plug and play” is displayed, and the printer with its port directed to the USB interface cable is added to the [Printers and Faxes] folder.

Under Windows XP, even if the printer driver has already been installed, [Found New Hardware Wizard] may start when connecting the printer and the computer with the USB interface cable for the first time. If this happens, install the printer driver by following the procedure below:

1Install the printer driver by referring to the instructions for installation.

Each printer driver is stored in the following folders on the CD-ROM:

  • RPCS: \DRIVERS\RPCS\XP_VISTA\(Language)\DISK1

When installation is complete, the printer with its port directed to “USB00n” appears in the [Printers and Faxes]*1 folder. (“n” is the number of printers connected. Under Windows 2000, the folder is [Printers].)
