I would like to connect my old Lexmark Z1300 printer to my Mac Laptop OXS 10.6.8 (Snowleopard) Lexmark says it's compatable with a Mac.
I haven't connected a printer to my laptop. Ever. And I don't have the disc that came with the printer.
I'm not sure where to start. When we connected my husband's printer to his Mac (same system, but a desktop) two or three years ago, the computer seemed to do it all by itself. We didn't have the disc for that printer, either, as nearly as I can recall.
So....if I connect the printer cable to the USB port, then go to Print & Fax and follow the prompts, will I be OK or must I try to find and download the driver(s) first. The lexmark website referred me back to Apple, so I'm really confused.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
