Macintosh Your printer connects automatically to AppleTalk networks and becomes readily visible to other computers on the network. Note: A network-attached printer is connected directly to the network using a standard network cable, such as Ethernet. Depending upon your operating system, you must do one of the following on each computer you want to be able to print to the network-attached printer: • For Mac OS X (10.1.2), you must create a print queue in the Print Center. • For Mac OS 8.6-9.x, you must create a desktop printer object (icon). Note: A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file provides detailed information about the capabilities of a printer to your UNIX or Macintosh computers. The PPD for your printer is on the drivers CD. Launch the PPD installer for your operating system and follow the instructions. A PPD for your printer is also available in a downloadable software package from Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com. Detailed instructions for performing these tasks can be found in the online documentation on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer. UNIX/Linux Your printer supports many UNIX and Linux platforms, such as Sun Solaris and Red Hat. Note: The Sun Solaris and Linux packages are available on the drivers CD and on Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com.
