With a lap top can you connect a printer/scanner?
My friend has a lap top & I have a spare printer/scanner & as you can see we are both novices in this computer world.
Thank-you. Jackie.

I have a printer/scanner connected to my laptop.

It depends on what connection the printer/scanner is and if the laptop has a compatible socket.

Mine is USB and just plugs into one of the USB ports. You will need to install the printer driver and software from a cd, but if you dont have it, you can sometimes download what you need from the internet.
