This section explains how to install the printer driver for a USB-connected printer under Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.
Installing a printer driver requires the Administrators permission. When you install a printer driver, logon using an account that has Administrator permission.
If the printer driver for your machine is already installed, the plug-and-play wizard will start and the printer will be automatically associated with the USB port and then appear in the [Printers] folder.
If the printer driver has not been installed, install it from the supplied CD-ROM by following the instructions given by the plug-and-play wizard.
Connect the machine and computer with a USB cable.
Connect the USB cable firmly.
In the Found New Hardware window, select [Locate and install driver software (Recommended)].
If the [User Account Control] window appears, click [Continue].
When the message prompting you to insert the CD-ROM appears, insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
The printer installation starts.
If a dialog box reporting [Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software] appears during the installation, select [Install this driver software anyway].
Click [Finish].
If installation is successful, the icon of the printer connected to the “USB00n” port appears in the [Printers] window. (“n” is the number of printers connected.)
The message prompting you to insert the CD-ROM will not appear if the computer finds a compatible printer driver on the network.
The number after “USB" varies depending on the number of printers connected.
