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.

Removing the printer drivers package

A system administrator can remove the printer drivers package using the utilities in the table below.

Depending on your operating system, mark the printer drivers package for removal after you start the program. You

can also type the names of the printer drivers package you want to remove from the command line. For more

information, see the documentation that came with your operating system.
