Installing Lexmark Windows 9x print drivers

The installation proceeds in four parts:
  1. Get the software.
  2. Install the Lexmark TCP/IP Network driver.  This needs to be done before installing the printer driver.
    You will not need to do this, if you are adding a second lexmark printer.
  3. Install the postscript printer driver by re-running NETWN32E.EXE.
    Repeat this step to add more than one Lexmark printer.
  4. Configure the printer setting from the printer Control Panel

Step 1. Get the driver software


Open up a windows explorer window and type ftp://ftp.maths.utas.edu.au/pub/windows
in the address bar, E.g.:
 


 

Drag the lexmark folder back to your desktop. Open the folder and run the
installer by double clicking on it, E.g.:

Choose Custom install and click Next

 

2.4

At this point tick Network Support and then click Next to continue.

Step 3.  Install the Lexmark postscript drivers

3.1

To start this process repeat steps 2.1 to 2.4 again.  Answer "No to All" to the following question.

3.2

This time tick the "Printer Drivers" box.


 

3.3

Click on the "Lexmark T522" printer, add it to the selected printers list and click Next or choose
the "Lexmark C720" to install the colour printer driver

 

3.4

Un-tick the "Lexmark T522" box at the bottom of the Drivers window.  We don't want the PCL drivers.
Select the "Port:" option for the "Lexmark T522 PS3" driver and then click the "Advanced..." button.

 

3.5

Click the "Add Port..." button to add a Lexmark TCP/IP port.  The drivers for this port were added in step 2.

3.6

Choose "Lexmark Network Printer Monitor" and click add.

 
 

3.7

Enter a name for the port, LexmarkTCP , LexmarkLevel3, LexmarkOffice,
Lex-C720, would be meaningful. Select the "Enter TCP/IP address..." and use
131.217.60.54 (mailroom printer), 131.217.60.55  (level3 printer),
131.217.62.250 (scanner room), 131.217.60.57 (Colour  Lexmark C720) as the
 printers address.  Click the default protocol box if you want the lexmark as your
default printer then click OK.
 


 
 

3.8

Click DONE here.

 

3.9

Choose LEXMARKTCP (or what ever you named it in step 3.7) as the printer port, and then click DONE.



3.10

You can set the printers location to "Mail room" if you like.

3.11

You will also need to select the BiDi Support Tab and tick the Status Window box.
Now you should click Finish and proceed to step 4.


You can repeat step 3 to add multiple Lexmark printers.
 
 

Step 4.  Configure the printer options

4.1

If you have Installed new Lexmark TCP/IP drivers (Step 2) then  you will need to:
              RE-BOOT your computer
If you fail to reboot then the computer may freeze when you try to configure the printer. You
should not have to reboot if  you already had a network lexmark printer installed and have just
added another printer.

4.2

Open the "Printers" folder from settings on the start menu, right click on the "Lexmark T522 PS3" and choose properties.

4.3

You really only need to set a few of the options here.  Go to the Paper Tab and choose the default paper type (A4), then  tick the "Use Printer Nup" box at the bottom left.  If you don't tick this box some PDF files won't print N-up.  Note that this is where you should go when you choose "Page Setup" form an application and want to set the duplex option for printing on both sides of the paper.

4.4

  Now click on the "Features Tab". The quickest way to set up all of the printer options is to click the "Update Now" button and have the software ask the printer what options it has.

4.3

Once you get the "BiDi Update Successful" message you can click ok.

That's it!   Happy printing.
