Setup network printer Lexmark Optra Lx+, No printing in Mac

Hi,
I have installed Lexmark Optra Lx+ on my network. I am using Dlink D-604 Router. I have one PC and Mac. Generally my IP Addresses for PC and Mac is from 192.168.0.100 & 192.168.0.101 and Printer IP Address displays 192.168.0.102. Default gateway is 192.168.0.1.
After installing network printer and driver in both PC and Mac, i can print from PC but not from Mac.
It gives me message: IP address 192.168.0.102 is busy, try in 30 sec. again. And nothing comes up.
So I don't know how to solve this problem.
I appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks.

What print comm protocol did you use? The busy error usually means you didn't enter the printer-specific queue name in Printer Setup. You should be able to find that (sometimes also called "port name") in the manual.

Then for driver, if the Lexmark driver doesn't show up, try HP Laserjet 4 (or 5) Series Gimp-Print, included in OS X.

Hi,
Actually I don't have manual for Lexmark Optra Lx+.
So I don't know the printer-specific queue name in Printer Setup.
How can i search the Queue name?
Please help me.
Thanks.

I found a reference online that indicates the Lx supports the HP Jetdirect (=port 9100) protocol. With that one you don't need a queue name. Use that.
