How do I connect printers?

I have problems with the printer connect, have now found the driver CD in the old laptop, how do I use it now?

Printers plug into USB port, modern computers find the right drivers automatically online and if not, you can install them from the manufacturer's website. Very easily.

Can I just insert the CD and connect the printer?

Does the printer have a USB port?
What is this model and manufacturer? Do you want to install it under Windows 10?

Yes he has a USB port, Ricoh printer and I would like to install it under Win 10

Is that a joke question?

you have to install the driver. He does not help on the CD. The drivers are on the CD and have to be integrated into the operating system (Windows) so that they are loaded each time Windows starts.

I would first clarify first if the printer is Windows 10 capable. Otherwise you are looking for you, without meaning that now evil, with your knowledge deficit afterwards a wolf, if the printer does not work and the reason is only that it is not compatible.

Write the exact model, ricoh - something…

Then install software from CD and then connect the printer via USB, now the printer should be recognized.

He is capable of win 10, my neighbor has already installed him with him, now he is very ill and can't show me how it works

There's a file somewhere on the CD, called "Setup.cmd", "Setup.exe" or just "Setup". Connect the printer to the cable, cable to the PC, printer and run this file on the CD. In an individual case, you can't say what the process is like, but then I just had to watch what he asks you for, according to his model name, or where he should copy the data. Leave everything as it is and click through, always "onward" or "confirm".

In most cases this leads to the goal. If not, ask the questions the installer will ask you here.

Never install the drivers from an (old) CD! In the rarest case they are still up-to-date and run under the current operating system.

Prefer to google for your printer model in conjunction with the word "driver" and possibly googling your operating system and download the latest driver version from the manufacturer and install it with you.

Thanks first I bite me, his name is Ricoh SP C250SF
