Lexmark printers come from the factory with a software CD. That disk allows the printer to be installed on a computer. If the CD has been lost, or the printer was purchased used and didn't come with one, it can't be installed until a copy of the software has been obtained. The Lexmark website offers free downloads of the software drivers for all of its printer models. Since these files come in a self-contained installer, no manual configuration is required, and setup only takes a few minutes once the file has finished downloading.
