Install Drivers For Local Printing - Lexmark C752 Help Manual

Install drivers for local printing

A local printer is a printer attached to your computer
using a USB or parallel cable. If your printer is attached
to a network, instead of your computer, skip this step
and go on to Verify printer setup
A 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.
Note: For Windows operating systems, you can
skip the hardware wizard and use the
drivers CD to install your printer drivers.
Launch the CD and follow the
instructions to install printer software.
Select your operating system and cable from the
following table to find driver installation instructions.

In addition to the following driver installation
instructions, you may need to refer to the
documentation that shipped with your computer and
your Windows software.
Before you install
Some versions of Windows software may already have
a system printer driver for this printer included. This
may mean that installation will seem automatic in later
versions of Windows. System drivers work well for
simple printing, but they contain less functionality than
our enhanced custom 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.
To obtain all the features of the custom driver, you will
need to install the custom printer driver using the
drivers CD that shipped with the printer.
Using Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

on your computer.
2 Browse to the location of the printer driver on the
drivers CD:
D:\drivers\win_2000\
