All Windows programs use the same setup for your printer, which saves time and ensures that you can print from any Windows program without resetting for each program.

In addition, you can easily manage printing for all your programs from Windows.

Related to printing are scanners, which you can use to scan illustrations and documents. While the specifics of using your particular scanner will be different, you can learn how to set up your scanner in this part.
