How to Make a Lexmark Printer Wireless
Create wireless access to your Lexmark printer by connecting it to a wireless print server. The wireless print server will communicate to your wireless router and broadcast the signal to all of the members of your wireless network. The use of a wireless print server eliminates the need to connect your Lexmark printer to a stationary computer and use the printer sharing feature over the network.
