Installing and updating software, drivers, and firmware
Installing the printer software
Notes:
• The print driver is included in the software installer package.
• For Macintosh computers with macOS version 10.7 or later, you do not need to install the driver to print
on an AirPrint-certified printer. If you want custom printing features, then download the print driver.
1 Obtain a copy of the software installer package.
• From the software CD that came with your printer.
• Go to www.lexmark.com/downloads.
2 Run the installer, and then follow the instructions on the computer screen.

• Connect the printer and the computer to the same network. For more information on connecting the printer
to a network, see

• Connect the computer to the printer. For more information, see “Connecting a computer to the printer” on
page 28.
• Connect the printer to the computer using a USB cable. For more information, see “Attaching cables” on
page 18.
