Many people have found themselves in very frustrating situations in which they have lost the install disc for something on their computer. It may seem that without the install disc, that application or piece of hardware may as well be forgotten about. With printers, however, this is almost never the case. It is indeed possible to install a printer without an install disc. All you have to do is follow these easy to learn instructions.
First, position the computer and the printer next to each other. Make sure all the wires for the computer are properly connected including any power cords. Next, switch on your computer. Let it boot up and load Windows.
Now take the power cord of the printer and plug it into an outlet. Next, you’ll have to connect the printer to the computer. Most times this is done through a USB cord. A USB cord more than likely came with your printer. If you can’t find one, you can purchase a replacement. Hook the USB cord into the port on the printer and then connect it to the USB port on the computer.
Now turn on the printer. In Windows, access the start menu. You can find this menu through the symbol that is on the bottom task bar all the way to the left. Click on it. In the start menu, access the control panel. It should be one of the choices in the second column.
In the control panel, search for the option labeled “Printers and Hardware†or some similar variation. Click on it. In this menu, you might see an option for a submenu named “Printers and Faxes.†Choose that submenu. Inside the submenu, search for the option to add a printer. Once you find it, click on it.
At this point, a wizard application will begin that will give you the option of allowing the program to automatically detect printers plugged into USB ports. It is likely to find your printer and begin its installation right away. If it does not automatically find it, the program will allow you to manually enter the information for the USB port the printer uses, the manufacturer of the printer, and so forth.

How can i install two drivers in XP for the same printer That way i can save different settings fine draft and just select that printer instead of changing all the settings everytime?
Technically, you wouldn't install two drivers. You would just install a second "instance" of the printer. Just go to the control panel, select printers and faxes, l-click "add a printer" and add the same printer again, but rename it to something different. Then set up the second instance any way you want it to behave.

How do you connect a laptop to a printer hooked up on a PC?
So, for some reason, you do not want to connect the printer directly to the laptop. To connect to the printer via another computer means creating a network, which requires a piece of equipment called a router. Also, both the laptop and the PC will have to have Ethernet capability, which may require installing a Network Interface Card in one or both of them. The printer will have to be configured as a network printer, which requires allowing sharing in the Network Folder on the Control Panel. Then, after you have established your network, you will have to install a network printer on to the laptop. This is done by double clicking on the 'Network Neighborhood' icon on the desktop, then right-clicking on the icon for the printer and selecting 'Install'.

Why printer queue and printer drivers are required?
A printer driver is a bit of software that instructs a printer how to work. Without such a driver, the printer may not work, or print rubbish. A print queue forms when a print job is sent to the printer that is already printing. Once the first print job has been completed, the second print job is then printed.
