Scenario

The installation process ends with the Printer Setup screen of the Lexmark S800 Series Setup Assistant, but the done button is unavailable.

 

Cause

A print queue is needed in order to print on the Mac OS X. A print queue represents the printer that is connected to your computer.

 

When the Lexmark S800 Series printer is wirelessly connected to the computer, you must add the print queue to complete the printer setup and begin using your printer. The Done button becomes available after clicking the Add Print Queue button on the Printer Setup screen of the Lexmark S800 Series Setup Assistant.
