The another best procedure will be most used one, First install the CD which comes with your printer, without connecting your printer to your PC, and When you start setup wizard from your printer CD, in the middle it will ask you to connect the printer to pc, do it and it will complete automatically.

Your process will be good if you dont have a printer cd and if the printer is connected before installing the cd or drivers to your pc.
