For Windows
Use a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer if the computer has a USB port and is
running Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
If your computer does not meet these specifications, connect the printer to your computer
using a parallel cable.
In most cases, after you install the printer software and connect a printer to the computer, you
can install additional printers with USB cables without reinstalling the printing software.
