A:Answer The set-up is MUCH EASIER than you might think. It isn't the sort of thing that requires any technical know-how. None. The instructions are a literal handful in number, extremely self-explanatory/easily understood! This was my first printer, and before I took it out of the box I was worried that I would have trouble settling it up, due to majorly being technologically "challenged" myself. It is really super-easy, and Im quite sure you would realize after setting it up that no outside assistance would have been needed for setting it up! Believe me if I of all people can do it, ANYONE can do it...lol:-)
