Acer Aspire V5-131-2629  --  How do you connect the laptop to a printer?

Hi jimacerinterest!

You can connect a printer via USB to any available port on your V5. If your printer also has Wi-fi, you can also use it wirelessly. You will usually (but not necessarily) need the driver disk, but often Windows Update will find the driver for you!

Settings can vary slightly, depending on your printer, so if there is anything you're not sure about, check out the printer instructions.

What if my printer is an older (Dell) printer that does not have a USB port  --  just the old style (parallel) printer cable connection.  Is there a work-around for this?

Yes, but you need a Parallel to USB adaptor (see here)

My link is a UK one, but if you're not UK based, then either Google it or try your favourite online store....
