Ease of Use - Part 2
If you intend to use the HP Photosmart 8750 via your computer (which most users will), you now insert the Setup CD into the CD drive on your computer, install the printer software and connect the printer to your computer when prompted. It takes a couple of minutes for the printer and computer to communicate with each other, then a Congratulations page appears and you can register your new printer online. The entire installation process took me around 30 minutes with no problems.
