Lexmark wireless printing

Thanks to those who provided the solution. It worked for me (x7675):

1) Uninstall existing Lexmark software/drivers ... spotlight search:
7600 Series Uninstaller

2) Download 7600 Series Web Installer from Lexmark:
http://www.downloaddelivery.com/downloads/cpd/7600Series_Web_Installer_1_05.dmg

3) Run the Installer
(note - there were several crashes and out-of-sync handoffs, but setup was able to find the wireless Lexmark once I muddled through the whole process)

More notes: I didn't have to dig through the prefs to get my wireless printing back, although that may have contributed to the crashes. Also, I had previously done a re-install from the Lexmark installer CD after installing SL, but that didn't work.

One more variation on the instructions from "adamsfbay" & others. What finally worked for my Lexmark X4530 and printing over the printer's built-in WiFi, was to use the following:

Device: AppSocket/HP JetDirect
Device URI: socket://ipaddress:9100

Hope this helps others. Seems like Lexmark support would have been able to offer the same info.

Fantastic! This variation worked great for my X4530 as well. Thanks a lot!

Just FYI:

It looks like Lexmark just released (09/10/2009) a 10.6 driver (at least for the X7600 series):

I have an x4580. I also reinstalled the driver from the Lexmark website and got the message that the version I am installing is older than what I already have on my computer, but I am now able to print wirelessly.

Lexmark has posted an updated driver installer for the X4530 and Snow Leopard 10.6.

I'll try it when I'm back home with the printer.

I have a Lexmark X4850 connected to my iMac by USB. I didn’t have problems printing after the update to 10.6, but the scanner function did not work. Every time I launched the “Lexmark Centre” it crashed immediately. Installing the new driver posted on the Lexmark website did not solve the problem. What I did is uninstall the printer and reinstall it again, with the new driver. And now it is working all right, scanner and all.

Did the Lexmark driver work?

I have a x4530 and am using the socket://ipaddress to wirelessly print for now. Lexmark's website always appears to be down so I can't get the drivers at the moment.

Yes the new Lexmark drivers did work, but they may not be necessary. Here's what I experienced:

With just the Snow Leopard version of the drivers you will need to manually create the "socket://ipaddress" connection to print with WiFi. With this setup you can create two Printers, one for WiFi and one for USB. It's simple, easy and uses the scanner interface built-into SL when connected by USB. If you use the new Lexmark X4530 drivers, the printer is automatically detected over WiFi, but the Apple SL driver is overridden and only the single printer can be created.

Both versions seem to have trouble detecting ink levels consistently.

If you have it working with Apple's drivers I wouldn't bother with the upgrade. I'm hoping Apple/Lexmark will eventually offer new drivers which are more native to the Snow Leopard printing system.
