Note: A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file provides detailed information about the capabilities of a printer to UNIX or Macintosh computers. • For Mac OS X (10.1.2), you must install a custom PPD for your printer and then restart your computer. The printer is automatically configured. A print queue containing the name of your new printer appears in the Print Center. • For Mac OS 8.6-9.x, you must install a custom PPD for your printer. You must also create a desktop printer object (icon) on your locally attached computer using the Desktop Printer Utility. The PPD for your printer is also on the drivers CD that shipped with your printer. 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 are 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. Lexmark provides a printer driver package for each supported UNIX and Linux platform. Visit Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com for a complete list of supported UNIX and Linux platforms. The User's Guide in each package gives detailed instructions for installing and using Lexmark printers in UNIX and Linux environments. Note: The Sun Solaris and Linux packages are located on the drivers CD and on Lexmark's Web site at www.lexmark.com. All the driver packages support local printing using a parallel connection. The driver package for Sun Solaris supports USB connections to Sun Ray appliances and Sun workstations. You can download these printer driver packages from Lexmark's Web site. Depending on which version of the drivers CD shipped with your printer, you may also find the driver package you need on the CD. Install printer drivers 45
