We hope this helps. This is a typical installation of a printer.

Here's how:

Installing a printer driver is a Windows function, quit your other programs before starting.

• Click Start, Settings, Control Panel.
• Double-click "Printers & Faxes"
• Double-click "Add Printer" to start the Add Printer Wizard

The Add Printer Wizard Welcome screen

• Click Next

Local or Network Printer

• Click "Local Printer"
• Make sure there's NO checkmark next to "Automatically detect and install ..."
• Click Next

Select a Printer Port

• If your printer is actually attached to the computer, click "Use the following port" and select the port your printer's attached to.
• If you're installing a driver only to keep PowerPoint happy, choose LPT1: or FILE: (it doesn't really matter, since you'll never actually print to the port)
• Click Next

Install Printer Software

• If installing a real printer, select your printer manufacturer and printer model here.
• If installing a printer only to keep PowerPoint happy, choose the HP LaserJet 4V/4MV as we've done here
• Click Next

Name Your Printer

• Give the printer a name (this is the name you'll use to select it later)
• If installing a printer just to make PowerPoint happy, you might want to give it a name that indicates it isn't a real physical printer (PowerPoint Pacifier, or the like)
• Click "Yes" under "Do you want to use this printer as the default printer" (this option may not appear in all Windows versions; see Notes below)
• Click Next

Printer Sharing

• Click "Do not share this printer"
• Click Next

Print Test Page

• Click No
• Click Next

Completing the Add Printer Wizard

• Review your choices. Click Back if you need to change anything
• Click Finish

Notes:

If you don't see "Use this printer as the default printer" in the "Name printer" screen, finish installing the printer, then click Start, Settings, Printers; rightclick the printer you just installed and click "Set as default printer" from the pop-up menu that appears.
