Install printer drivers
Macintosh Your printer connects automatically to AppleTalk networks and
becomes readily visible to other computers on the network.
Note: A network-attached
printer is connected directly to
the network using a standard
network cable, such as Ethernet.
Depending upon your operating system, you must do one of the
following on each computer you want to be able to print to the
network-attached printer:
• For Mac OS X (10.1.2), you must create a print queue in the
Print Center.
• For Mac OS 8.6–9.x, you must create a desktop printer object
(icon).
Note: A PostScript Printer
Description (PPD) file provides
detailed information about the
capabilities of a printer to your
UNIX or Macintosh computers.
The PPD for your printer is on the drivers CD. Launch the PPD
installer for your operating system and follow the instructions.
A PPD for your printer is also available in a downloadable software
package from Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Detailed instructions for performing these tasks can be found in the
online documentation on the drivers CD that shipped with your
printer.
UNIX/Linux Your printer supports many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun
Solaris and Red Hat.
Note: The Sun Solaris and
Linux packages are available on
the drivers CD and on Lexmark’s
Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Lexmark provides a printer driver package for each supported UNIX
and Linux platform. Visit Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com for
a complete list of supported UNIX and Linux platforms. The User’s
Guide in each package gives detailed instructions for installing and
using Lexmark printers in UNIX and Linux environments.
You can download these printer driver packages from Lexmark’s Web
site at www.lexmark.com. Depending on which version of the
drivers CD shipped with your printer, you may also find the driver
package you need on the CD.
NetWare Your printer supports both Novell Distributed Print Services (NDPS)
and regular queue-based NetWare environments.
For the latest information about installing a network printer in a
NetWare environment, click View Documentation on the drivers CD
and look for information about network printer installation.
