Sometimes when you have *just* the right combination of hardware and the
preliminaries have been done,  it can go just as quickly and easily as you
say, but.....
Windows 95 and 98 default to no file sharing and no printer sharing.  So
if all you did was Click ADD PRINTER, then somebody else did most of the
work before you started.

As for printer driver installation.... that depends on the printer.
Really old printers that are in the native Windows driver database will
install quickly and easily.  Newer printers that Windows does not
recognize will probably need drivers installed.
