Attaching a
local cable
USB
You can attach the printer to a network or directly to a computer to print
locally.
Attach your printer locally using either a USB port or a parallel port.
A USB port is standard on all Lexmark C912 printer models.
Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP
operating systems support USB connections. Some UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh computers also support USB connections. Refer to your
computer operating system documentation to see if your system
supports USB.
To attach the printer to a computer:
1
Connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable.
A USB port requires a USB cable such as Lexmark part number
12A2405 (2 m [6.5 ft]). Match the USB symbol on the cable to
the USB symbol on the printer.

Go to "Turning on the printer" on page 53.
