Note: Your specific printer driver may not be included in the standard package. Check your Software and
Documentation CD or the Lexmark Web site to determine if there are any software plugins available. For more
information, see “Plugin Manager utility (software updates)” on page 31.
Finding space to install the printer drivers package
Some operating systems require you to install printer drivers in a particular directory. If the file system containing
the directory is full, you can create a symbolic link that points to the real directory in another file system which has
more file space. The operating system treats the symbolic link as a real directory, but the files are actually installed
on another drive.
1 Create a directory where you want the packages to actually be installed.
For example, to install in the /disk2 file system, type:
# mkdir /disk2/lexmark
2 Create a symbolic link that points to the directory you just created from the directory where the operating system
requires the files.
For example, if the operating system requires the files to be in /opt/lexmark, type:
# ln -s /disk2/lexmark /opt/lexmark
3 Continue with the installation of printer drivers in the folder /disk2/lexmark.
