lol... Sometimes, i just think life is funny.

It makes fool of you.

Just now, i spent almost 2 hours searching for a way to install my printer into my Windows 7 OS laptop. I couldn't use the disc provided as the OS version is not supported. Mine is Fuji Xerox DocuPrint 203A, an old printer that can only run for Windows XP or older OS version.

Damn, i search the web for 2 hours and yet, none of it solves my problem. Changing the compatibility to Windows XP or Vista can't help me to install the printer driver. The error kept repeating, over and over. I downloaded the printer driver from the manufacturer website, and i don't know what should i do with it.

Okay, i'll try the other 'way'. Click START -> Devices and Printers -> Add a Printer -> Local -> Windows Update-> my printer is not in the list -_-....

Okay, try the next one, change 'Windows Update' to 'Have Disk', find the driver file i downloaded just now, and the printer installed. BUT, that's not the right way. The printer still doesn't print.

It was until i tried the method above that i found out that i forgot to switch on my printer's power. So, i switched it on, and connect it to my USB port.

And i found the right way, accidentally. That's just some really really easy steps that i felt @#$%^@ when i found them.

This is the right way to get it installed on your laptop.
First, click Start -> Devices and Printers(make sure your printer is connected to your notebook and the power is switched on already) -> You will see your printer icon under the unspecified devices.(This is what happen to my notebook) -> Right-click-> 'Properties'->I'm Sorry...
Steps here i forget, but i think u click the tab 'Hardware' and then select 'Printers name' in the box and then click 'Properties'. There should be somewhere in the 'properties' that you can update the printer driver. It's 'Update driver' that you have to click. I choose to update through the web. After it is installed, you should be able to use your printer for printing purpose.

Easy, is it?

Hope this helps.
And, for anyone who knows the exact way of doing the steps i forget, please kindly leave a comment here so i can edit it.

I wasn't able to find it bcoz after i remove the device(the printer i installed) and then connected back to my laptop, it automatically turns out as my printer, and i don't have to do the steps i mentioned above anymore.

EDITED:
Ok, here's exactly the steps. Click 'Start'->'Devices and Printers'->Under 'Unspecified devices', right click ur printer model and choose 'properties'
-> change to 'Hardware' tab,click 'properties' button (make sure ur printer model is selected in the box at the middle)
-> change to 'Driver' tab, click 'Update Driver' button
-> the rest... do it yourself =)

BTW, IF THE COMPUTER STILL DON'T INSTALL, DISCONNECT UR PRINTER FROM PC, GET THE COPY OF PRINTER DRIVER ONLINE, CONNECT BACK, DO EXACTLY THE SAME STEPS, AND SEARCH FOR THE PRINTER DRIVER FROM THE FILE LOCATION U SAVED IT, IT SHOULD WORK. IF NOT, SORRY I CAN'T HELP. DUNNO HOW TO HELP U ANYMORE. GOD BLESS YOU. =)
