Windows
Before you install
Note: Installing a custom driver will replace the system driver. A separate printer object will be created and appear in the Printers folder.
Using Windows XP with USB or parallel cable
Note: Business versions of Windows XP require that you have administrative access to install printer drivers on your computer.
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.
Some versions of Windows software may already include a system printer driver, so installation is automatic in later versions of Windows. System drivers work well for simple print jobs, but they contain less functionality than our enhanced custom driver.
To obtain all the features of the custom driver, install the custom printer driver using the driver CD that shipped with the printer.
Drivers are also available in downloadable software packages on Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com.
When the Found New Hardware Wizard screen appears:
1 Insert the drivers CD. If the CD auto launches, exit the CD. Click
Next.
2 Browse to the location of the printer driver on the drivers CD, and then click Next.
D:\drivers\win_2000\
