Issue description

Here in this document, we will see how to install a
Lexmark CX331adwe
 printer over
WSD
 port from APW_system package.

Solution

Download the driver package from Lexmark Support site by searching for the printer model. Select the appropriate printer driver. Click here to view image.
After downloading the package, install the software driver into the system and connect the printer through WSD port.
There are two ways to install a printer over WSD port from APW package and those are:
  • Install Only (specifically for USB/WSD printer). This is recommended for USB connection as well as WSD port installation.
  • Extract (to install a printer over Standard TCP/IP or USB or WSD port). Recommended for network connection installation, however WSD port installation is still applicable.
Double click the installer (APW_system package installer) and click
“Accept”
 for the Licence Agreement. See EULA image here.
Follow steps below for the
”Install Only”
 option:
  1. After accepting the License Agreement, the Select an Installation Type window appears. Select
    Install Only
     then click the
    Start
     button.
  2. Once installation is complete, open
    Devices and Printers
     from
    Control Panel
     and click on Add Printer.
  3. Select
    “The printer that I want isn’t listed”
    .
  4. Choose “Add a printer using IP Address or hostname” from the radio buttons selection, then click
    Next
    .
  5. Select “Web Services Devices” in
    Device Type
     and type in the printer IP address and click on
    Next
    .
  6. Type a printer name (by default, printer’s hostname will be shown), then click
    Next
    .
  7. Select Printer Sharing option as per requirements of sharing, then click
    Next
    .

The newly created print object over WSD port will be shown in

 option:
  1. In the
    “Select an Installation Type window”
    , select Extract option and click the
    Browse
     button to select the path where the extracted folder will be stored.
