1. Download the latest printer software from your printer's webpage. To locate the software, or drivers, type your model number and 'drivers' into the search box at the manufacturer's website. You can also install it from the CD that came with your printer.
2. Temporarily insert the provided USB cable into the printer and the computer. Plug in the printer's power cord and power it up. XP may automatically detect the new printer and start the 'Add Printer Wizard.' If the wizard doesn't auto-run, proceed to manually start it.
3. Click on the 'Start' menu in the lower-left toolbar and look for 'Printers and Faxes.' If you don't see it, open 'Control Panel' and you should see it listed there. Click to open it.
4. Choose 'Add a Printer' from the left-hand list of printer tasks. The 'Add Printer Wizard' will begin and guide you through the setup process.
5. Browse for your printer when prompted and locate your new wireless printer. XP should automatically install the printer software you downloaded earlier. It may ask you to approve installation; click 'Yes.'
6. Finish out the wizard and XP will display the name and location of your new wireless printer. Follow the same process with any other XP computers on your network if you'd like them to also print to the wireless printer.
7. Remove the temporary USB cable and print as usual from any computer on the network.
