Performing tasks

Opening the printer driver

The printer driver is available from a Windows menu item, or from the command line by typing:
# lexprint
The program has two modes: User and Administrative. If an administrator starts the program, it opens in
administrative mode by default. However, if an administrator wants to start the program in user mode, they can type
lexprint -n. This lets administrators start a session with their own personal settings.
Note: User mode is not supported when running the application as a "root" user.

Print Drivers Setup

There are six basic options you can set from the Print Drivers Setup dialog.
Note: The Print Drivers Setup is only available to the root user.
If you do not have the interface available, you can set many of these options by using the command line.
•
/usr/local/lexmark/setup.lexprint
•
/opt/lexmark/setup.lexprint
•
/usr/lpp/lexprint/setup.lexprint
Note: For more details regarding this command, enter setup.lexprint -h from the command line.

Administrative Group

Use this option to set the administrative group name. For more information about administrative groups, see
"Changing an administrative group name" on page 16.
