| Time | Narration |
| 00:01 | Hello and welcome to the spoken tutorial on Printer Connection. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn to connect a printer to a computer. |
| 00:11 | For this tutorial, I'm using |
| 00:13 | Ubuntu Linux 12.10 OS |
| 00:17 | and Cannon printer. |
| 00:20 | Let me quickly introduce you to the various components of a computer. |
| 00:25 | This is the CPU, |
| 00:27 | Monitor, |
| 00:29 | Keyboard, Mouse |
| 00:32 | and Printer. |
| 00:34 | Let's look at the CPU. |
| 00:41 | In most of the CPUs, there are some USB ports in the front |
| 00:46 | and some at the back. |
| 00:49 | Now, let's have a look at our printer. |
| 00:53 | Usually, there is a power switch on the front or top part of the printer. |
| 01:00 | And there is a power slot and a USB port at the back of the printer. |
| 01:11 | To connect a printer to a computer, we have to use a USB cable. |
| 01:16 | Let's connect the USB cable to the printer. |
| 01:22 | Now, let's connect the other end of the cable to the CPU's USB port. |
| 01:30 | Now, our printer is connected to the computer. |
| 01:33 | Switch on the power button on the printer. |
| 01:37 | Now, let's configure the printer using our computer. |
| 01:43 | Let's go to the Desktop. |
| 01:46 | Click on the Dash Home icon, at the top left hand side of the launcher bar. |
| 01:53 | In the Search bar, type Printing. |
| 01:58 | The printer icon will be displayed. |
| 02:02 | Click on it. |
| 02:04 | In older versions of Ubuntu, click on |
| 02:07 | System ,Administration , |
| 02:09 | and Printing. |
| 02:12 | Now, the Printing dialog box appears. |
| 02:16 | It says - There are no printers configured yet. |
| 02:21 | At the top left corner, there is a button named Add with a green Plus sign on it. Click on it. |
| 02:30 | It will open the New Printer dialog box. |
| 02:34 | On the left hand side, a list of printer devices connected to the computer, is displayed. |
| 02:42 | Here, let's select our printer, i.e., Cannon Printer and click on Forward. |
| 02:51 | Then it will automatically begin searching for drivers. I will click on Cancel. |
| 02:59 | Now, the dialog box switches to the Choose Driver option. |
| 03:04 | The Default option will work in most cases. |
| 03:08 | Since, I have a Canon Printer, here in this list, it is selected by default. |
| 03:16 | Now click on Forward. |
| 03:19 | In the Model page, my printer model is automatically detected. |
| 03:26 | It is indicated as Recommended, in brackets. |
| 03:31 | Also, in the Drivers section, it shows the driver suitable for my printer. |
| 03:38 | Now, click on Forward again. |
| 03:42 | Now, we are prompted to describe our printer - printer name and its location. |
| 03:49 | I will keep it as Default and click on Apply. |
| 03:53 | Our printer is successfully added to our computer. |
| 04:00 | A message appears “Would you like to print a test page?” |
| 04:04 | Let's click on Print Test Page option. |
| 04:08 | A pop-up will appear with a message: |
| 04:12 | “Submitted – Test Page submitted as job ...” and its number. |
| 04:18 | Click on OK. |
| 04:20 | Again click on OK in the Printer Properties dialog box. |
| 04:24 | Here is our test print from our printer. |
| 04:29 | Our printer is now ready to print our documents. |
| 04:34 | Let's close the Printer dialog box. |
| 04:37 | Let me quickly demonstrate how to print a document. |
| 04:42 | Let's open a document. |
| 04:45 | Then, press the keys Ctrl and P together. |
| 04:49 | The Print dialog box appears. |
| 04:53 | Notice that the connected printer is selected by default. |
| 04:58 | In this dialog box, we have several options. |
| 05:03 | Range allows us to select the range of pages that we want to print. |
| 05:08 | There are some options available under Range: |
| 05:12 | All pages option prints all the pages in the document. |
| 05:16 | Current page option prints only the current selected page. |
| 05:22 | Pages option prints the pages according to our specification, say for example, 3-4. |
| 05:31 | Next, let's look at the options available under Copies. |
| 05:36 | Copies option is where we choose the no. of copies that we want to print. |
| 05:42 | If we change Copies to 2, then 2 copies of the selected pages will be printed. |
| 05:49 | And click on the Print button. |
| 05:52 | If you have configured your printer correctly, your document will start printing. |
| 05:58 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. In this tutorial, we learnt to |
| 06:05 | Connect a printer to a computer |
| 06:07 | Configure the printer settings and |
| 06:10 | Print a document. |
