Step1
Plug in the Dell 725 printer to the outlet. Plug the USB cord from the printer into your computer's USB port.

Install the printer drivers. The driver is the program that tells the computer what printer you have. You will likely have a CD with the Dell software and drivers. If not, check Dell's support page listed in the additional resources to find and download the driver.
Step3
Print a test page to check if the printer is configured properly for your computer. Go to Control panel. Right click on printers and choose Properties. Select Print Test page. If page prints normally, the printer is setup.
Step4
Use the Dell printer program to configure the printer to your preferences. You can select a number of options depending on the kind of printing you want to do and the size of the paper.
Step5
Perform regular maintenance including replacing ink cartridges or toner when required to keep your Dell printer in good condition.
