Configure a network printer

You configure your All-In-One for use on a network by setting its IP address. Your All-In-One may be attached to a network through a built-in, factory installed network interface (available on some specific printers), or through an optional external network adapter.

Note:

If the printer has been previously configured, it can be used without being reconfigured provided no one else is currently using that same IP address.

To configure your printer using the Printer Selection dialog:

Open the 5200 Series Utility.
From the menu bar, choose Advanced to display the Advanced menu.
Choose Select Printer.

The Printer Selection dialog displays.

Select your All-In-One from the list, and then click Configure.

The Configure Network Printer dialog displays.

Assign an IP address to your network All-In-One. Contact your network administrator for more information.

Note:

If your Lexmark network device supports DHCP, DHCP must be turned off.
Click OK to go back to the Printer Selection dialog.

Select your All-In-One from the list on the Printer Selection dialog.
Click Select.

To configure your printer using the Configure Network Printer dialog:

Open the 5200 Series Utility.
From the menu bar, choose Advanced to display the Advanced menu.
Choose Network Printer Configuration.

The Network Printer Configuration dialog displays.

Select your All-In-One from the list, and then click Configure.

The Configure Network Printer dialog displays.

Assign an IP address to your network All-In-One. Contact your network administrator for more information.

Note:

If your Lexmark network device supports DHCP, DHCP must be turned off.
Click OK to return to the Printer Selection dialog.

Select a printer from the list on the Printer Selection dialog if you want to configure another printer. Otherwise, click Done.
