Before you install
Note:
Installing a custom
driver will not replace the
system driver. A separate
printer object will be created
and appear in the Printers
folder.
Using Windows XP or
Windows Server 2003
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 have a system
printer driver for this printer included. This may mean that installation
will seem automatic in later versions of Windows. System drivers work
well for simple printing, but they contain less functionality than our
enhanced custom driver.
To obtain all the features of the custom driver, you will need to install
the custom printer driver using the drivers CD that shipped with the
printer.
Drivers are also available in downloadable software packages on our
Lexmark 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:
D:\drivers\win_2000\
3
Click Next to install the driver.
If any messages appear regarding the driver not being certified,
it is okay to disregard these messages and click Continue
Anyway. Your printer has been thoroughly tested and is
compatible with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
