Q: new to Mac. How do I install a printer?

I am trying to install a new printer. I have a Aficio MP C2800 from Ricoh. Went on their web page and downlaoded printer software but the printer did not show up as installed on MacBook. How do I install a new printer on MacBook Pro?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3), think i'm running OS X Lion

Download the mac driver for your printer, from your printer manufacturer.
Open the downloaded file in finder click on it and open it. If using wireless then set up the wirless network on your printer
