Step 1: Choose your setup (local

or network printer)

Local printer A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or

parallel cable. The local printer is intended to be used only by the person using the computer to which it is attached. If you are attaching a local printer, you must install the printer driver on your computer before setting up your printer.

Continue with Step 2: “Install drivers for local printing” on page 2.

Network printer A network printer is a printer attached to a network either by a network

cable (such as Ethernet) or through the use of a server. If you are attaching a network printer, you must set up your printer on the network first, and then install the printer driver.

Continue with Step 3: “Unpack the printer” on page 8.

Choose your setup (local or network printer)

Step 2: Install drivers for local

printing

The printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with y our printer.

The procedure to install drivers depends on the operating system you are using. Use the following table to find driver installation instructions for your particular operating system. If you need additional help, refer to the documentation that shipped with your computer and your software.

Operating system Go to page...

Windows

Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 98/M e, Windows NT 4.x

Windows Some Windows operating systems may already include a printer driver

that is compatible with your printer. This may mean that installation will seem automatic in later versions of Windows. System printer drivers work well for simple printing, but they contain less functionality than our enhanced custom printer driver.

Note: Installing a custom

driver will not replace the system driver. A separate printer object will be created and appear in the Printers folder.

Use the drivers CD that shipped with your printer to install the custom printer driver and obtain all the enhanced printer features and functionality.

Drivers are also available in downloadable software packages on our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.
