You would need a printer server or a router with a built-in printer server. What printer do you have and how is it connected to the computer (USB or parallel)?

Certain Lexmark printers may not work with print servers because they do not have command interpreters built in to the printer. Here is a list of Lexmark printers that may not work with printer servers:
All Z series*
X73
X83
E210 laser
5x00
3200
7x00
Any other (new) Lexmark printer without a built-in command interpreter.
* Some users have been successful using their Z series printer. Try disabling bi-directional printing.
see some body asked "Why won´t my Lexmark printer work with my D-Link print server or router?" and they gave him/her the above answerd.
