How do you connect a printer to a laptop ? -

I m am thinking about getting a Dell laptop, will I be able to connect a printer to the laptop and how? Is it a lot of work?? Thank you please answer, I person that has a laptop or that is intersted in this topic will help an awful lot, thank you

I m using my laptop right now, and no, it is not a lot of work. If the computer you want to get is new, that means it will have vista on it, and vista makes it really easy to install a printer. All you have to do is plug it in, then it will say quot;installing driversquot; and then it will tell you that it is done. If it is a used laptop, you might have to run a printer install wizard, which will be under the control panel. Hope that helps.

You just plug it in and away you go.

most printers these days are USB so all you need do is plug in your printer to your laptop , install the driver and job done

haha, its not a lot of work at all. its just one wire. plug from your printer to the laptop.

well if the laptop you want have window vista you have to buy a printer that can be use with window vista because some printers dont connect with window vista so you must ask in the shop a employe for help.

If your printer connects via a USB port, then you will have no problems connecting this printer. If your printer is a combo or all in one unit, the install the drivers first and then just connect the printer. That should do it. I drive my printer with my laptop all the time.

connect it to your USB outlet.. usually located on the side or the back

To conect the printer to the laptop you shuld do it wirelessly. There should be a ethnet button on the printer if there isnt then you probaly cant use the printer from your laptop. I hope i helped good luck.

If you have a printer with a USB connection (most have these days) then it only takes a few minutes to install the software on your laptop and you only have to do it once. Connect the printer, complete the installation and that s all there is to it.

Almost all printers use a USB cable to connect to the computer. You will need to make sure that the printer either comes with one or that you have one. The printer will come with a driver disk. Put that in and run the install before plugging in your printer. The install routine will usually tell you when to plug the printer in. It is fairly simple.

well every printer should come with a cable unless its wireless just plug the cable in and add hardwere thing should come up and instill it that way or it should come with a disk and install it that way. should take about half an hour

Take a usb printer. With a parallel printer u need a parallel usb adapter. (BTW: I print with a wireless printer. Wonderfull!!)

no just use a usb printer cord, most printers come with them. there r also wireless connections but those r a little trickier. and for installation some printers auto-install when u connect them with the cord, but some reqire u to manually install with the cd that it comes with. shouldnt take more than twenty mins if u read the installation manual with the printer

Connecting a printer to a laptop is no different that connecting a printer to a desktop. If you have a parallel printer, connect the printer and then install the install disc and use the Add a Printer feature. If you have a USB printer, follow the install disc directions. Usually you load some software first, then connect the USB cable and finish it up. Hard or easy is a relative answer. A PhD mathmatics major has little trouble doing differential equations; a freshman algebra dropout cannot even get into that class let alone understand the material or pass the course. Having said that, I believe printer install is easy but I am a network engineer.
