Before installing a printer or any other peripheral devices, it is usually recommended to check if the device is 'Plug-and-play', meaning it can be recognized and installed automatically by your laptop without the need for additional drivers. If plug-and-play is not supported, you would need to install drivers before the device can be used effectively, either from a CD provided with the device or by downloading from the manufacturer's website. The other options listed are not typically the first steps in setting up a new printer.
