Install a lexmark x5250 printer

Hi
I need to install a Lexmark x5250 printer. I have the cd but the computer said it needed the driver. The Lexmark site doesn't offer driver installation for windows 8.1 on their drop down menu...any ideas?
thanks

Hi Lisa11,
As I can see at the manufacturer site, the pritner is incompatible with Windows 8.1.
This forum deals and expertize with HP products, I suggest contacting Lexmark and check if there are may be any applicable workarounds to use the printerm... they surely know their products the best

I have installed my lexmark x1100 printer to macpro but it keeps telling me that the ink pots are wrong and they are not how can over ride this issue please help

I have installed my lexmark x1100 printer to my macpro lion but though it registers its there it keeps telling me that the inkjet pots are not in position or wrongly inserted, how can I overcome this problem which is driving me crackers!!!!!

Thanks for the additional info. If the printer works using your Dell Laptop, then the printer is working fine. The problem is with the driver. The Lexmark X1100 is only compatible up to Mac OS 9.2.2. If you have the Mac OS X, unfortunately, it's not compatible with that OS.
You might want to consider purchasing a new printer - preferably a network printer since you have multiple computers. We do have printers that are currently on sale online. You can check it out here: http://bit.ly/KQBDe0
Those printers are compatible with the newest Operating Systems both for Windows and Mac. It also has drivers for Linux.

I just installed a multifunction Lexmark Pro905 printer and it will not print from Firefox, but will from Explorer????

I just installed a multifunction Lexmark Pro905 printer and it will not print articles from Firefox, but will from Explorer??? Are there settings in Firefox to solve this??

When you initiate printing with {Ctrl + P}, are you able to select that printer in the Printer - Name box?

HT1338 I have the mac os x 10.7.3 and am trying to install a dell v515w printer and am having no luck. Anyone out there got any ideas. Have tried to download the drivers but they don't' work. I read something somewhere about trying the Lexmark. Please

I have a mac os x 10.7.3 and am trying to install a dell v515w printer. Have tried numerous times to find driver, but mac says not compatible. I read something about using a Lexmark driver. Any suggestions???
Thanks so much,

If there is no driver compatible with OX X 10.7 you might want to consider getting a different printer. It may save hair pulling and aggravation.

I am unable to print to a Lexmark C782 printer

I have been troubleshooting a print issue for 2 weeks. I have two iMac desktops. I am trying to print to Lexmark_C782 printers via ethernet. I have selected the printers through System Preferences>Printers and Scanners. When adding the printers I select the "+" sign, select the printer on the default tab. iMac finds the correct print driver (which I have downloaded and installed). I then select ADD and the printer is loaded into the print queue. I send a print job to the printer and a few things happen; 1, the print job disappears and never prints and the print queue shows nothing in the queue. 2, I will send a print job to the printer and the printer will display a 900 or 900.43 RIP software error or 3, on occasion it has printed (very rare). This same thing happens when using IPP and LPD. At this writing, I am unable to add printers using IPP, where as before I could. IPP doesn't find the printers. Apple is unable to find the printer. I can open the terminal window and ping the printer. I can open Safari and brtowse to the webpage of the printer.
There has not been any changes to the computer.
Computer iMac
O/S X version 10.9.2
Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8GB
Serial Number D2*******8J3
Toubleshooting steps
1. Deactivated Appletalk on printers. I have read it is no longer supported, Apple uses bonjour
2. I have downloaded and installed the Mac OSX print driver from Lexmark but found that wasn't the latest.
3. I have made sure the latest print driver is installed. Version 11.2. Found that on the Apple website
4. I have innstalled the printer via IPP, LPD and bojour
5. I have 18 C782 printers
6. I have a network at my office
     16 workstations
     The workstation i am working on is connected into a switch that is connected into another switch in the closet
     All C782 printers are in one physical location with static IP addresses.
     They are all connected into a 24 port switch which is then connected to another switch in a closet
     Both switches are connected via different CAT 5 cables to the same switch in the closet.
7. I am trying to print from Adobe programs.
8. With the exact same setup I am able to print successfully from Windows 7 to all printers without any type of errors
All of the printers are printing images, creative fonts on greeting cards (Adobe In Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc). Not sure if that matters but thought worth mentioning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I talked to Adobe Support tonight and found this issue to be a known problem with some of the Adobe Cloud products when using older hardware, in this case the C782.
So, we found a workaround. Unfortunately the work around isn’t efficient and adds more steps to their normal printing routine
Open InDesign and create, modify delete the card
Select FileàExport
A window will appear. Pick the location you wish to save the file
Once the File is saved another window will appear
“EXPORT Adobe PDF”
An Export to Adobe PDF window will appear. Accept all defaults. MAKE CERTAIN “VIEW PDF
After EXPORTING” is CHECKED
Select Export
Once EXPORT is complete the file will open automatically in Adobe Acrobat
Most likely the screen will be very large
Select the + - sign at the top of the page to adjust the page size to view the image
Select FileàPrint
The Print window will appear
Select the printer from the drop down
# of COPIES is just below Printer
Select OK
I hope this helps anyone who is having similar issues
Thanks

I have a imac and a pc laptop set up with my wireless lexmark x7675 printer through my bthome hub network, but cannot get macbook pro to work

i have a lexmark wireless printer, its connected to my imac via wireless bthome hub connection, works fine, so does my pc laptop. but when it comes to connect my macbook pro aswell it wont work. i have installed lexmark drivers on macbook, i have follwed the wireless connection setup and plugged in via usb port. it says it has connected successfully, but it will not print. i had it connected at one point, but would only print if the imac was on, but now it wont even do that.
please help, it seems like instead of connecting through bthome hub it wants to connect to my imac, how do i change this?

Well there would probably be different settings for the wireless.
For example, with a Lexmark printer although I needed to do nothing to get it to work via USB, to get the wifi working I had to use a special setup option for getting the wifi to work on my pc.
You can probably download the manual for your printer from the manufacturers website, and it should tell you how to get it to work with your printer.

HT3500 I have Lexmark 6570 printer. How can I hook up to ipad

I have Lexmark 6570 that is wireless. iPad can't find it.

The Lexmark 6570 does not appear on the list of AirPrint compatible printers. See this Apple Support document for details:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
You might still be able to print from the iPad to the Lexmark printer if you download and install an App like Print Central.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Another option might be Printopia. There is a free trial, so you will know in advance whether this will work or not. You need to have another Mac running on your network to be able to use Printopia.

Cannot print to Lexmark PS Printer, from MacOS 10.4.11 or Win XP SP3

Since upgrading to Reader 8.1.2, neither my MacOS 10.4.11 nor my Win XP SP3 system will print from Reader to my Lexmark Optra printer, installed on the network (using postscript drivers).
It appears that the print job is being sent to the printer -- it starts up and whirrs for some little while, but no paper emerges. The status window shows "Busy". This is normal behavior for this printer -- except that it usually prints something.
All other applications on both the Mac and the PC print ok. And I can print from the full version of Acrobat 5.x installed on the PC. The only application that won't print to the Lexmark Optra is Reader 8.x.
I can print to an HP C3180 Photosmart printer, plugged directly into the Mac's USB port.
What's up with this? Did Adobe end up corrupting the print output, so that it's unreadable by the printer?
Adobe people -- what have you done?

Mike,
I've never heard about resetting the printing system on the Mac -- when I opened the Print & FAX icon in System Preferences, I don't see anything about reset -- are you suggesting I delete the Lexmark printer and re-add it?
In regards to the installation of Acrobat 5.x and Reader 8.1.2 on the same WinXP system -- that's on a physically separate PC -- not emulation on the Mac. And I installed Reader 8.x in order to take advantage of some newer PDF documents that require something more recent that 5.x.
And ultimately, on both systems .... what's up with the inability to print to the Lexmark printer, when every other application prints successfully. And, by the way, there is also an HP C3100 printer attached to the Mac via a USB cable ... and Reader 8.1.2 prints to it.
The lexmark optra printer is connected directly to the network here, and all of the PCs and the Mac (only 1) can print to the networked printer without problems -- except for Reader 8.x.
If you're suggesting I reset printers because of a known issue, I'd appreciate hearing the whole story before I start uninstalling and reinstalling printers.
Thanks for your reply.

Why can't I print a document created on my MacBook Air with Pages via a wired Lexmark X2650 printer?

I am unable to printe a document I created on my Mac with Pages via a wired Lexmark X2650 printer. Of course, I have already confirmed that it is correctly set up and connected. Why?
Thank you.

TextEdit is an application on your Mac.
Type TextEdit into Spotlight (magnifying icon top right on the menubar) to quickly locate and open it.
It is the basic Text/Word Processor (but actually very capable) that comes with all Macs and a good place to test differences if you hit a problem.

How do I connect a Lexmark x6570 printer to my iMac wirelessly? The basic user guides are not helping me and the add printer is not finding my printer...

Hello,

Thanks!

Fusion 4.1.2. After install can no longer print on the Mac side.

Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000167 EndHTML:0000003793 StartFragment:0000000475 EndFragment:0000003777
Greetings,
I'm using a MacBook Pro running OSX SL at the most current level.
I upgraded from Fusion 3 to Fusion 4 (uninstalled 3 first then installed 4) after which I did the update to Fusion 4.1.2 which appeared to run fine.
Being I'm new to the Mac I installed Fusion because I need Windows-XP.
Prior to the installation of Fusion I spent 2 weeks trying to get my printers working just on the Mac side without Fusion. I'm using an HP Deskjet 5850 (5800 series) printer which worked just fine. The printer is an IP printer at IP address 192.168.1.11 and can be pinged from both the Mac side and the Windows-XP side. Before Fusion there wasn't any issue printing on the Mac side.
After Fusion installation I didn't have any issues printing on the Windows side.
Now with Fusion installed I can still print on the Windows side but not on the Mac side.
All settings are as normal with printer sharing.
When trying to print on the Mac side I see the printer queue for the HP pop up and it says 'waiting to connect' to 192.168.1.11.
I tried a dozen different settings non of which worked.
I switched from a NAT connection to a Bridged connection for Windows but still the same result, no printing from the Mac side.
Is there a problem with this release of fusion or is it somewhere in my system settings?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

How do I install a non-wireless printer (Photosmart 3210a) over a network?

I have just reported a problem to HP following downloading installation files as follows: With a new Pavilion system unit running Windows 7 Professional, to which is connected by USB a Photosmart 3210a, I wished have full access to the printer from a networked laptop running Windows XP. This had been perfectly possible when I was using the previous system unit which also ran XP.
The downloaded files for 7 installed without problem, the printer being detected straight away. When I downloaded the updated installation files for the laptop the software would not find the printer on the network since it seemed it was suitable only for a wireless enabled printer, and could not detect the printer attached to the system unit.
Whilst I appreciate that the majority of printers now available are wireless enabled, I find it slightly underhand to effectively disable an otherwise perfectly satisfacory and well-appointed piece of equipment. I would have thought that there ought to be a fix for this omission.
I should add that the original installation disk would not run, and required me to download an updated file for the XP OS. It was this file which caused the problem

I connected my Brother printer via USB cable.
You posted in the support forum for the Apple wireless routers.....the products shown below. Although you do not mention that you connected your printer to the USB port on the Apple router......we assume that this is what you meant to say. Would that be correct?
