Installing A Printer Driver
To install a new printer:
1. Double-click Printers
2. Double-click Add Printer
If the printer is connected to your local area network, you
must ensure that your print information is passed to the
network, rather than to the local output port on your
computer.
Let's connect a local printer, one that will be connected
directly to your computer's parallel port.
1. Click Next
2. Click Local printer
Windows 98 allows printers to be
connected directly to your computer
via a parallel or serial port or to
your network.
3. Click Next
Selecting A Model
You must now select the manufacturer and model of the
printer driver that you will install.

Configuring A Printer
Once a new printer driver has been installed, you may
want to configure it to meet your specific needs.
For example, you may have installed additional memory
to allow complex graphic printing, or you may want to
alter the default settings of the printer.
