Networking the printer
Installing a network printer allows users at different workstations to print to a common printer. Methods of setting
up a network printer include:
•
a direct Ethernet connection through a Lexmark print server
•
sharing a printer that is locally attached to a network computer
Note:
You can also set up a wireless network using a Lexmark print server. If your printer came with a Lexmark N4050e
print server, follow the steps on the
Setup Sheet
that came with your product to set it up.
