Name can be any description you would like to describe
your printer. Location can also be anything you would like.
If you have a newer printer, the computer will
automatically detect it and the model number will have shown up
after Print Using. If it has not, and Generic PostScript

use...
Try to find your printer's model in the list. If you do,
select it and click the next button, and the printer will
appear in the printers list in the Print and Fax window.
If your printer is not in the list, then you can try
leaving it as a Generic PostScript Printer and clicking the Add
button. Your printer will appear in the printers list in the
Print and Fax window.
The new printer will automatically be the default
printer unless you choose another one. If you want to switch
the default to another printer, select the arrows next to
Default Printer and select whichever printer you prefer to be
default.
Try to do a test print. Open up a program such as
Microsoft Word, type in a few words, and then print the
document. Make sure you select the printer you just added to
print to if you changed the default printer to
another one.
If your document printed, then the printer was
successfully added. If it did not, then you will have to go to
here and download the correct driver for your system.
