Best Answer

A new printer is "added" to the computer. With Windows: Start > Control Panel > Printers and scanners (if I remember right!) and follow instructions. The new printer may need to be installed from a CD, or from the maker's web-site, so that the correct drivers can be installed. Some operating systems may already have the driver required, so making the adding a printer easier.
