Install printer drivers
•
For Mac OS X (10.1.2), you must install a custom PPD for your
printer and then restart your computer. The printer is
automatically configured. A print queue containing the name of
your new printer appears in the Print Center.
• For Mac OS 8.6–9.x, you must install a custom PPD for your
printer. You must also create a desktop printer object (icon) on
your locally attached computer using the Desktop Printer
Utility.
The PPD for your printer is also on the drivers CD that shipped with
your printer. Launch the PPD installer for your operating system and
follow the instructions.
A PPD for your printer is also available in a downloadable software
package from Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com.
Detailed instructions for performing these tasks can be found in the
online documentation on the drivers CD that shipped with your
printer.
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. Visit Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com for
a complete list of supported UNIX and Linux platforms. The User's
Guide in each package gives detailed instructions for installing and
using Lexmark printers in UNIX and Linux environments.
All the driver packages support local printing using a parallel
connection. The driver package for Sun Solaris supports USB
connections to Sun Ray appliances and Sun workstations.
You can download these printer driver packages from Lexmark's Web
site at www.lexmark.com. Depending on which version of the
drivers CD shipped with your printer, you may also find the driver
package you need on the CD.
