TCP/IP must be active and running on all the network computers if you want to print to the network printer.

In Macintosh network environments using TCP/IP, the printer software supports automatic assignment of private IP addresses in the following ranges:

1. Insert the printer software CD into the CD-ROM drive of one of the network computers. Double-click the installer icon when the CD contents are displayed.
2. When the Lexmark printer software installation screen appears, click Install and Agree.

If you see the New Network Printer Found screen

The printer software found a new printer but could not automatically configure it.
