I just got a new macbook pro that is running Mavericks. I am trying to connect my lexmark printer (x4650) and it will NOT show up on my discoverable printers in the system preferences unless it is plugged into the printer. I have downloaded all of the drivers and have used the wireless set up assistant and it is still not working. Help please?
Does the setup assistant tell you the IP address of the printer? Can you ping that IP in the Terminal Utility (and get repeating successes, and Not the "unreachable" error message)?
The setup assistant says my computer and printer are both on my wireless network. I am not sure how to do the terminal utility thing?
If you get something like this, it should be ok:
$ ping 10.0.1.15
PING 10.0.1.15 (10.0.1.15): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.0.1.15: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.060 ms
64 bytes from 10.0.1.15: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.088 ms

64 bytes from 10.0.1.15: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.064 ms
If you get something like the following, there is a problem:
$ ping 192.168.0.1
PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1): 56 data bytes

Also curious if you've used the Lexmark help pages?

Ok, I tried this out. The ping thing went fine... it showed up how it was supposed to. However, still a no go with connecting over the wireless network.
My lexmark 3600-4600 series printer is not discoverable on my macbook pro unless connected with a wire. Help?
