    It would depend on the Operating System on your computer. But generally yes, Determine the type of printer system you have and you should be able to go to the home web site for the maker of the printer and under support, you should find down loadable drivers for the printer. Once you download and install the drives on your system it should work fine. If you are running the XP OS is should recognizer the printer and install the drivers unless it is a really odd or old printer. Hope this helps.

    Go to the manufacturer's web site. They will probably have the software to download.
