You really should have written:
...install a printer... *on your system.*

Otherwise many of such people will fiddle with Windows printer drivers
for hours completely in vain.

What about "on the underlying operating system" ? Is it more clear ?

Yup, while longer, I think it's better.

Yup, that's much better, but then we probably need to detail it by saying
...install a printer *driver*... on your computer.

Since the problem is not simply solved by connecting a printer to the
computer...
(and as long as we were talking about an operating system it was obvious
that we need a driver)

Here is the patch with "underlying" in it.

Let's see what Alexandre thinks for the best wording.
