How do I connect my printer directly to a computer
(Windows)?
You can connect your printer directly to a computer without going through a network,
by using the printer's built-in FireWire socket (supported under Windows 2000, XP,
and 2003 Server) or the optional USB 2.0 socket (supported under Windows 98 SE,
Me, 2000, XP, and 2003 Server).
1.
Do not connect the computer to the printer yet. You must first install the
printer driver software on the computer, as follows.

When asked how the printer is connected, choose Connected directly to this
computer.

Choose your connection method and click Next.

When prompted to do so, connect your computer to the printer, using a FireWire
