Install drivers for local printing
Windows
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.
Before you install
Some versions of Windows software may already include a system
printer driver, so installation is automatic in later versions of Windows.
System drivers work well for simple print jobs, but they contain less
functionality than our enhanced custom driver.

Installing a custom
driver will replace the system
driver. A separate printer
object will be created and
appear in the Printers folder.
To obtain all the features of the custom driver, install the custom printer
driver using the driver CD that shipped with the printer.
Drivers are also available in downloadable software packages on
Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com.
