How to Configure an HP 1300 Laserjet Printer
- 1). Plug the USB data cable into the USB port on the printer and insert the opposite end of the cable into one of the USB ports on the computer. Do not yet turn the printer on.
- 2). Insert the driver installation CD into the disc drive of the computer. Although not all computers require you to install a driver, it is wise to do so because it specifically instructs the computer on how to detect and read the printer.
- 3). Follow the prompts of the installation wizard once it appears on the screen. Click “Next” on every option and select “Install” to install the drivers.
- 4). Power on the printer. The computer will detect a new, removable device and a configuration page begins to print. Wait for the page to completely finish printing. You should see black, red, yellow and blue stripes on the page. If you do not see these marking on the page, you may need to replace the printer cartridges. If the stripes all appear on the page the configuration is complete and you are ready to begin using the printer.
