1. Identify the manufacturer name and model of printer you are trying to configure. The manufacturer's name is likely listed on the casing, while the model number may be on a tag underneath the printer.
2. Visit the printer manufacturer's support website. This will be listed in any instructional material you received with the machine. If you can't locate these documents, use a search engine to find the company's website.
3. Look for the 'Drivers' or 'Software' section of the company's support site and open it.
4. Browse or search for your printer's model name. An example of a printer model is the Lexmark X215. If the website allows you to search by serial number, enter it in the search box.
5. Look at the compatibility section of the results and find your computer's operating system. If your operating system is not listed, try selecting the driver for the most recent platform. For example, if you use Windows 7 select the Vista driver if it is the only one available.
6. Download the 'print driver.' Supplementary drivers for a multifunction printer, such as fax and scanner drivers, may need to be downloaded separately.
7. Install the drivers and reconnect your printer; it should be automatically detected by the operating system.
