Software onto a memory stick

[crog13]

 My girlfriends computer I just recently resetted to factory settings and we are having problems installing her printer, we have the installation disk but when we put it in I doesn't do anything and when I run the disk an empty window appears. I have also looked online for online installation but with it being an old printer it doesn't get much attention and there is no software I could find.
 My question is could I put the installation software onto a memory stick from my computer, take the memory stick to her computer, then install it. Her computer can read memory sticks because I have tested it but I'm wondering if its possible and if so, how do I do it?. Thanks x

You surely can.
Copy entire CD to USB stick and look for some file called "setup.exe", or "install.exe".

Make sure to install printer software BEFORE connecting printer to the computer.

That is if the CD for a printer this old has a setups, might as well just have the drivers. Still - copy an enteir CD on your flash drive(or memory stick if it has a card reader) and in case ther is no intallation file use windows device search to manually install the drivers - in this case the printer can be connected before installing but you might require to reboot afterwards

there were setup programs on the floppy disk installs of almost all printers. CDs are a lot newer, and at the very least they all have an autorun program that deploys the driver, which can be run manually.

Also, there is always the possibility of simply downloading the latest driver, too.

Like BC was saying, you can just download the driver from the manufacturer, eliminating the need for the CD or a memory stick.

If you can tell us the model of printer as well as what version of OS she's using, we can direct you where to download it from.
