Oyeve is correct---get the drivers for the OS on the laptop---and also provided the connectivity is there also in terms of a parallel, wireless, or usb hookup and she will be fine----but that Dude--get a dell may be decent advice on a computer---but really stinks on printers---because dell printers are made by Lexmark---and Lexmark inkjets are the worst for printing economy. So if she plans on college---where she likely to do some heavy duty printing---tell her to get a more economical printer----and turn that dell into a flower pot.---rather than have the printer eat her out of house and dorm room.
Even something like a chipped Canon---say the new ip4300 will save her a bundle---but if she can find an older unchipped Canon using the BCI-3&6 cartridges---then she will really be money ahead.---or consider a monochrome laser for the same reasons.
