Install drivers for network printing
Step 12: Install drivers for
network printing
After you have assigned and verified the TCP/IP settings, you are
ready to install the MFP on each network computer.
Windows In Windows environments, network MFPs can be configured for direct
printing or shared printing. Both network printing methods require the
installation of a print driver.
Supported print drivers
• Windows system print driver
• Lexmark custom print driver
System drivers are built into Windows operating systems. Custom
drivers are available on the drivers CD.
Updated system and custom drivers are available on our Lexmark
Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Note: Installing a custom
driver will not replace the
system driver. A separate
print object will be created
and appear in the Printers
folder.
For basic MFP functionality, you can install a system print driver. The
system print driver presents a consistent user interface for use with all
the MFPs on your network. However, using a custom print driver
provides enhanced MFP features and functionality, such as print
status alerts.
