How do i add a printer to my computer? -

I bought a HP Photosmart C5500 printer and when i try to add it as a printer theres a list of all the types of printers but mine isnt there.. im so confused...

HP are fussy and forget the add wizard.... Unplug the usb cable from the printer first. Power on the HP and begin a fresh install. Re-connect the usb cable to the printer only when the program asks you. Let it finish. Reboot and Windows will find the new hardware. Open your fave Word Processor and you are ready to use it.

In many cases just make the connections and run the CD that probably came with it, and the software will find it. Or pick the closest model number.
