How can I connect my laptop to the printer? -

I m staying at a friends house. We both know a little about computers. We haven t been able to figure out how to connect our laptops to the printer. How can we do this? Any directions to follow? Please, make it easy..step by step.

Put the install disk for the printer in the laptop. Run the install, it will tell you when to plug in the printer. Plug the printer into the laptop usb port. Finish the install. Print. If you don t have the disk, go to the printer manufacturer s web site and download the install file.

This depends greatly on the printer and how it is connected. You can connect to a printer via a network if it is network connected. You can connect the printer to a computer via USB or parallel cable and share it over a network. Some even work with bluetooth. But it all depends on the printer and how it is connected.

ok most lap tops connect to printer via usb if not very big printer port on the back of old laptops, you need to run set up disk for printer then connect printer to lap top or if on ex or later connect printer to laptop it will say new hardware found and install in auto mode
