Add the Printer (if required)

When you plug the connector into your PC’s USB port and turn on the printer, Windows 7 is supposed to notice a new device and let you know that it’s installing drivers. When it finishes, you’re done. That simple. You didn’t have to do a thing except plug it in and turn it on.

 

If you need (for whatever reason) to add it manually

  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Select All Control Panel Items.
  3. Open Devices and Printers.
  4. At the top of the window, select Add a Printer.
  5. Select Add a Local Printer.
  6. In Choose a Printer Port, select Use an existing port.
  7. In the drop down menu, select the USB001(Virtual Printer Port for USB).
  8. Select the Next Button.
