Mac and Printer

In my experience you do not scan from the printer to the Mac, rather you perform scan jobs from the Mac:
you open the 'printers & scanners' on the Mac, select your printer and then on the right side of the window, click on the "scan" tab, then click on 'open scanner' and proceed.

From there you will have options (I don't have a Lexmark) for scanning, saving depending on the features of your scanner.

If you do not have the scan option, you may need to update your driver/package on your iMac.

The scanner uses a different driver than the printer. You may want to try the scanner driver from a similar scanner/printer or use the generic driver combo for the printer/scanner. It may be that the Mac laptop is not picking up a compatible Scanner driver.

You need to install the Full feature software and drivers. It contains the drivers necessary for the front panel menus to display the options you needed. (scan to word, scan to pdf etc.)

go online to hp to fine a driver that will let u use the printer with Mac.

The scanner will not scan to a Mac but Mac will have to scan a document on this scanner and save it wherever it wants. So open your Mac word processor and from it access the scanner and scan a document.

kindly install the scan driver and software to your locla computer, if you connect its as a netowrk printer kindly install the network devices cd in your local machine and add the network scanner.

Well I haven't necessarily scanned often, but i do know if you open up a program such as word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Corel, etc... You are given an option to scan. That way you can scan information, images and such to that program in which you use. C2424 wont give you any support because its a primary printer but the drivers should include drivers for the scanner and the computer to interconnect. If you have any photo like software on your mac. Try looking at the options at your top menu for an option or "import"
Many times it will give you the option to scan from a device.

To scan to computer its software based. Also on the Panel on the printer you should be given an option to scan. If printer is connected by USB it will be easier to detect scans from panel, but if your printer is connected via Ethernet it will be different.

I hope this helps. Try using a program that you can use to edit pictures or display. You should be given an option.

I hope this helps. Let me know what you do? and possibly i can mirror what you do on my own mac

There is not yet Mac driver support for the scanner portion of this printer.  The printer should work fine, but no scanner as of yet.  Too bad no one told me at the Office store when I bought it.

Hi -
I don't have a Mac, so not entirely exact on your solution. But, I do have a suggestion to try -

if you use a scanner, you probably have a photo editing software of some kind (like Photo Shop, Paint Shop Pro, etc etc). Within that program, there is an option to obtain the image from a scanner. You should be able to use that function instead. I know that with my WinXP, I could import from the scanner in Paint Shop Pro MUCH easier than trying to use the actual HP buttons on the 1315.

Please note that the 1315 will also only scan flat items well. If it is 3D, like jewelry or oddly shaped objects, you'll only get fuzzy-edged pictures. The 1315 has no depth perception, no matter what setting combination you use. Not HP's finest moment, for sure. I had this printer for a month or two before I was fed up, and went back to a separate printer and scanner! : /

Good luck!

Just posted two solutions to my problems. see here.
