Networking the printer

Installing a network printer allows users at different workstations to print to a common printer. Methods of setting up a network printer include:

•a direct Ethernet connection through a Lexmark print server

•sharing a printer that is locally attached to a network computer

Note: You can also set up a wireless network using a Lexmark print server. If your printer came with a Lexmark N4050e print server, follow the steps on the Setup Sheet that came with your product to set it up.

Installing network printers

Direct IP printing

1Connect the printer to an external print server using a USB cable.

2Connect the print sever to the network using an Ethernet cable.

Note: You may be connecting your printer directly into a wall connection or through a router. For more information, see the print server documentation.

3Insert the printer software CD.

4Click Install.

5From the “Connect Your Printer” dialog, select the network option.

6From the “Networking Setup” dialog, select Direct Network Attached.

Note: If more than one is listed, match the MAC address of the print server to the one in the list. For more information, see “Finding your MAC address” on page 85.
