print locally.
Attaching a
local cable
You can attach your printer locally using either a USB, parallel, or serial
connection.
USB A USB port is standard on all models.
Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP
operating systems support USB connections. Some UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh computers also support USB connections. Refer to your
computer operating system documentation to see if your system
supports USB.
A USB port requires a USB cable such as Lexmark part number
12A2405 (2 m [6.5 ft]).
Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB symbol on
the printer.
