To print to a network printer, each Macintosh network user must

• Install a custom PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file
A custom PPD is on the drivers CD that shipped with your
printer.
A PPD for your printer is also available in a downloadable
software package from our Lexmark Web site at

• Create a desktop printer icon (Mac OS 8.6 to 9.x) or create a
queue in Print Center (Mac OS X)
Detailed instructions for these tasks are in the online documentation
included on the drivers CD.
Your printer supports many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun
Solaris and Red Hat. Visit our Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com
