You are installing a USB laser printer for a user. The user's computer is running Windows XP Professional. You install the toner cartridge, place paper in the paper tray, and connect the USB cable to the printer and to the computer.
What additional step do you need to take?
1. >>Install the printer software as instructed by the manufacturer.
2. Use Add or Remove Programs to install the printer.
3. Use Windows Update to download the most current driver.
4. Use Device Manager to install the printer driver.
Explanation : You should follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing the printer. Some printers have an executable on the CD-ROM that must be run before connecting the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable. Others are installed using the standard procedure of either allowing Plug and Play to detect the printer or adding a printer through the Add Printer Wizard.
You do not need to use Windows Update to download the most current driver. Driver updates should be obtained from the manufacturer. Also, at this point no driver has been installed, so you would not be able to update the driver.
You should not use Add or Remove Programs to install the printer. Add or Remove Programs is a utility used to manage Windows components and applications. It is not used to install printer drivers.
You should not use Device Manager to install the printer driver. When you first set up a printer, you need to run the manufacturer's software or use Add Printer Wizard to install the printer. If you need to update the driver at a later time, you can do so by using Device Manager.
