Creating ports and installing drivers
Read the detailed instructions on the drivers CD. Click View
Documentation and look for information about network printer
installation for your specific Windows environment.
If you choose to install without using the instructions on the drivers
CD, you need a basic understanding of network printing on TCP/IP
networks, installing printer drivers, and the process involved in
creating new network ports.
Your printer connects automatically to AppleTalk networks and
becomes readily visible to other network clients.
For Mac OS 8.6–9.x, you must create a printer object (icon) on the
desktop of each network client using the LaserWriter 8 printer driver
and the custom printer PPD file. For Mac OS X, select Add Printer
and create a queue in the print center using the PostScript Printer
Module and the custom printer PPD file.
Information about creating the printer object on your AppleTalk clients
is on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer.
A PPD installer is in the downloadable Web package available on
Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Depending upon which version of the drivers CD shipped with your
printer, you may also find this software on the drivers CD. Launch the
PPD installer and follow the instructions to install the PPDs.
Your printer supports many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun
Solaris and Red Hat.
Lexmark provides a printer driver package for each supported UNIX
and Linux platform. The package contains all the necessary drivers
and PPDs. 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 upon which version of the
drivers CD shipped with your printer, you may also find the driver
package you need on the CD.
