Installing a Printer Driver
Before you can print documents from your software applications, you must
install the appropriate printer driver on your computer. The printer driver
takes the information from your application program and translates it into a
language the printer can understand.
❐
If you are using Microsoft Windows 3.1 applications, install the Windows
printer driver as described in the next section.
❐
If you are using MS-DOS applications, you must install a printer driver
for each MS-DOS software application that you intend to use with the
printer.
