Installing drivers for local printing

2	Installing drivers for local printing

A local printer is a printer attached to the computer using a USB or parallel cable. The local printer is intended to be used by the computer to which it is attached. If attaching a local printer, install the printer driver on the computer before setting up the printer.

The printer driver is software that lets the computer communicate with the printer.

The procedure to install drivers depends on the operating system used. Use the following table to find driver installation instructions for the particular operating system. For additional help, see the documentation that shipped with the computer and the software.

Operating system	Go to page
Windows	11

Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me,	11
Windows NT 4.x

Windows 95 and Windows 98 (first edition)	12

Serial printing	12

Macintosh	14

UNIX/Linux	15

Windows

Some Windows operating systems may already include a printer driver that is compatible with the printer.

Note: Installing a custom driver will not replace the system driver. A separate printer object will be created and appear in the Printers folder.

Use the drivers CD that shipped with the printer to install the custom printer driver and obtain enhanced printer features and functionality.

Drivers are also available in downloadable software packages on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com.

Using Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, or Windows NT

Note: Install the printer software before connecting the USB cable.

1Insert the drivers CD.

If the CD does not launch automatically, click Start Æ Run, and type D:\Setup.exe in the Run dialog (where D is the letter of the CD-ROM drive).

Note: USB support is not available for Windows NT operating systems.
