Install Drivers For Network Printing - Lexmark C752 Help Manual

Install drivers for network printing

After you have assigned and verified the TCP/IP
settings, you are ready to install the printer drivers on
each network computer.
Operating System
Windows
Macintosh
UNIX/Linux
NetWare
Windows
In Windows environments, network printers can be
configured for direct printing or shared printing. Both
network printing methods require the installation of a
printer driver and the creation of a network printer port.
Supported printer drivers
• Windows system printer driver
• Custom printer driver
System drivers are built into Windows operating
systems. Custom drivers are available on the drivers
CD.
Supported network printer ports
• Microsoft IP port—Windows NT 4.0,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and
Windows Server 2003
• Printer network ports—Windows 95/98/Me,
Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP,
and Windows Server 2003
For basic printer functionality, you can install a system
printer driver and use a system network printer port,
such as an LPR or a Standard TCP/IP port. The
system printer driver and port let you maintain a
consistent user interface for use with all the printers on
your network. However, using a custom printer driver
and network port provides enhanced functionality,
such as printer status alerts.
Follow the steps for your printing configuration and
operating system to configure your network printer:

• Printer is connected directly
to the network using a
network cable, such as
Ethernet.
• Printer drivers are typically
installed on each network
computer.
Shared
• Printer is connected to one
of the computers on the
network using a local cable,
such as USB.
• Printer drivers are installed
on the computer attached to
the printer.
• During driver installation,
the printer is set up to be
"shared" so that other
network computers can
print to it.
