IN the case of the Mac what I have had to do in the past was shut down the other laptops and computers, delete the printer program from the Mac and start over. During the setup of the printer make sure nothing is connected to the printer. Only connect what you are instructed to at the appropriate time. It will eventually ask you how you are going to connect to the printer from that particular printer, answer ethernet cable and attach the ethernat cable to the printer from your router, make sure your laptop is connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Always set your computer up to the printer vis a hard line, then onve it is done you can swap over to a wireless setup. Once the setup is complete and a test print is accomplished bia ethernet cable, then disconnect the cable from the laptop to the router. Once you are connected to the network wirelessly, attempt another test page, you have already set the printer up at this point to be your default printing device so the laptop will find the printer on the network and initiate it. You may have to watch close for a pop up window asking to allow the connection or access to the program. Maybe think about dropping the firewall temporarily until the connection is secure.

first of all press the setup button on ur printer now go to network and then print network config page (or viev network settings ) it will print a page now go ahed and note down the ip address (now if the ip address is 0 then run wireless setup wizard through the network on the setup button it will show the network name select the network and enter the router security key if it ask ) now open internet explorer on computer and in the address bar type the ip address of the printer and press enter it will open the printer page
now go ahed and insert the cd of printer it will open up and then click on add a device click through nnetwork and complete the installation
and try printing

If the printer itself is wireless, it does not need to recognize your wireless computer network. Call Lexmark to walk you through proper installation. Lexmark's manuals are not adequate regarding setup, in my opinion.

try deleting the printer and drivers completely, then reinstall

first of all check whether the printer is on a network or not by printing a network confirguration page..to print a network confirguration..1.press the setup button..2.scroll down to option to network press OK..3. then it says view network settings press OK..4. then it says print network confirguration page..the page that prints you will see IP Address of the printer..
