You'll need the appropriate printer software on all the PCs and they may not find the printer automatically. You need to create a TCP/IP port and direct the printer output there. This also requires software (or XP can do this for some printers) and should be available from Lexmark. Have you done this?
I have an old Lexmark Optra S1250 that i wish to network. Unfortunaltly i dont have any manules and the printer lcd screen is missing pixels so that it makes it hard to read. I can make it out but sometimes i dont know what it says and so it makes it difficult.
I want to connect it directly to the network so that i can have all the computers access it without me having to connect it to one computer and sharing it with the rest. It has the network port in the back, but when i try to go to network setup in the printer menu the printer freezes.
I did find that when i have it unplugged from the network, the network setup menu will let me work. I set up the ip and other things, but it is not recognized on the network when i plug the wire in. I am trying this in the dark with no success. Anyone ever done this and can help me?
