How to add a Lexmark (x3350) printer to your computer.

How to add a printer to a computer.

This is an example of how to add a certain type of printer to your computer. My group and I did a Lexmark printer. So this is what the blog will be about.

1.)    First of all you need internet. (Because, we didn’t have the disk to install the printer, so we used the internet).

First, go to your internet browser. Type in: www.google.co.uk

Then in the “Google” search bar type in: Lexmark, then hit enter.


After that, go to “Lexmark UK” and give it a good old double click. (Wait for the site to load).

A website like this will pop up.


Once you have done that, look for “DRIVERS & DOWNLOADS” and just double click on it, (a drop down box will appear, ignore it and just click on the “DRIVERS & DOWNLOADS” one more time).


After that step, this will appear.

Down below, within the search bar, type x3350.

Don’t hit enter once you have typed it, just when the “Printer Image” shows above, click on that.

When you have done that, look for the top download which should say:

Lexmark 3300 Software support for Mac OS X 10.6  
Lexmark 3300 Web Installer 10.6.dmg (Click on the link and until next page).

Then click “Download Now”.

It should pop up at the top of the browser or down bellow, just allow/accept/run it, so it can download.

[If it doesn’t automatically give you the option to install it then, just click on: Lexmark 3300 Web Installer 10.6 dmg.

Then carry on from there. Thankyou for reading.

A pea size intro on stuff I know about printers.

Hey all.

Did you know that the first printer was called a type writer and was made around the mid 80′s? for the type writers you have a sheet of paper,w hich slots into the carage. When you type, it hits ink onto the paper by a small hammerd shape.

Did you know that the later on veron was/is called an inkjet printer? This uses different coloured inks. It spreys the letters or numbers/pictures or images onto the paper.  Offices used this because it was and still is a brilliant piece of technology to print off work or data.

Did you know an even modern verson was/is called a laser printer? These are usely used in schools to print of letters, and in companys for different databases and stuff.
