1. Check the manufacturer's website for the latest printer software for your model number. Download the latest version of the software to your desktop.
2. Decide if you're going to connect the printer with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The setup will be similar but you should only connect one way or the other.
3. Insert the installation CD and follow the steps provided in the setup wizard. To manually install the wireless printer, continue to the next step.
4. Turn on the computer's Bluetooth by opening 'Start' menu > 'Programs' > 'Services' in Windows. On a Mac, open 'System Preferences' from the Apple menu and click the Bluetooth icon. If you're installing over a wireless network you can skip this step.
5. Locate the network settings on your wireless printer. Check your manual to find out how to navigate to these settings. Turn on Bluetooth or open the Wi-Fi setup wizard, as applicable. If Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, they will now automatically discover each other.
6. Note the Bluetooth pass code that appears on screen; you'll enter this code in the computer to pair the devices. If you're using Wi-Fi, the printer's setup wizard will ask you to enter your wireless network name and password.
7. Open a document in a word processing program and go to 'File' then 'Print.' Choose 'Add a printer' when the printer dialog box opens.
8. Go through the screens of the printer wizard. You may be asked to find and install the printer driver you downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
9. Print the document you opened; your wireless printer is now installed and ready to use.
