Connecting a Parallel Printer
You can connect a parallel port printer to your port replicator if your computer came with one. The new hardware wizard
enables you to easily install the printer software, but some printers require separate driver software installation. See the
instructions that accompanied your printer for more information.
The printer port on this port replicator is intended for printer connections only.
To connect a parallel port printer
1. Plug the printer cable into the Printer port on your computer or port replicator, if applicable. See Locating
Controls and Ports for more information.
2. Plug the other end of the printer cable into the port on the printer.
3. Restart your computer by clicking Start, Turn Off Computer, and Restart. If the New Hardware Wizard
appears, follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Make sure the computer recognizes the printer. Follow these steps:
 Click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, and then Printers and Faxes.
If the computer recognizes the printer, it will be listed in the Printers and Other Hardware window.
If the computer does not recognize the printer, you may need to install the printer driver software. See
the guide that accompanied the printer for more information.
