If the printer you are installing is the primary printer for the PC then you must select “Yes” else select “No” to install it as a secondary printer.
You can make this printer the default later by right clicking on the printer’s icon in “Printers and Faxes” once installed and selecting “Make this Printer my default Printer”.
The printer will now install any necessary drivers it may require. The wizard will appear to be frozen for a few moment but this is normal, DO NOT forcefully close the wizard until it has completed all operations or the printer may not be installed correctly.
Once the drivers have finished installing completely the window will unfreeze and you will see a finish button, click it complete the process.
