    Basically you need an USB printer cable like this: http://www.sfcable.com/UB12-06.html?gclid=CK-D7Jqt... to connect the printer to your computer. This cable is not supplied with the printer.

    By the way, HP 2011x is not a computer, it's your 20 inch LED Monitor.

    Plug in the cords and you're setup. Depending on your version of Windows, the computer may automatically detect your printer and try to install a generic printer driver. It's usually better to use driver that the manufacturer, Canon, provides for better functionality.

    Drivers & software, features and brochures, manuals and guides can be read/downloaded from Canon, specifically for the i450 printer, here: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/pri...

    Usually you put the cd in your cd reader/player in your computer, then it will tell you what to do. Plug in the power cord to the printer into an electrical outlet or one on the surge protector for your computer. brb checking--next plug in the usb cable into the back of the printer (the square looking end of it the only way it fits) then the rectangle end of the usb into the front or back of your computer also the only way it fits. If you don't have the cd for it, you can look up the (drivers , software, for it on the Canon website) do not buy Driver Detective, it's 30 dollars and useless. You will not need to lookup the drivers for it if you have the cd because that is what is on the cd.

    it easy only hook the usb cable one side in the usb port on the printer usually at the back and the other side of the pc usb port. And plug the power cable into the printer and the power supplier.

    Then install the driver program from the CD given with the printer.
