Installing drivers for local printing
A local printer is a printer attached to your computer using a USB or parallel cable. The local printer
is intended to be used by 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.
The printer driver is software that lets your computer communicate with your 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, see the documentation that shipped with your computer and your software.
Operating system
Windows
Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me,
Windows NT 4.x

Some Windows operating systems may already include a printer driver that is compatible with your
printer.
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
enhanced printer features and functionality.
Drivers are also available in downloadable software packages on the Lexmark Web site at
www.lexmark.com.
