Cannot see Lexmark X83 Printer after loading Driver

Trying to load Lexmark X83 Printer but unable to complete operation as the installation process stalls when I try to open Print Centre. When I quit the Scan and Copy functions are loaded but not the Printer, Hence no printer exits when I try to Print and it does not appear on the print list when I try to Add. Ideas?

Imac 24", Mac OS X (10.4.8)

No the problem mate, see my previous entry.
I've the same problem with the X-85. Tried Apple
Helpline but that proved useless. Deleted all the
plist files but nothing. If you work it out let me
know. Currentkly I have to download docs to a usb
flash disk and print from a PC!!!!
I'm giving up and going to bed.

The following might be the answer to our problem. I have not tried this as I am at Work. If it works please let me know.

Cannot Install the Lexmark X83/X84/X85 Printer Driver in Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) with an Intel Core Duo Processor ID:ENUS24408







What You Will See
After installation, the following dialog box will be displayed:



When you click the Open Print Center button, the Print Center application should be launched. However, this will not happen in Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger).
Explanation
In Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger), the Print Center application has been renamed the Printer Setup Utility.
Resolution
To add the printer manually to the list of printers, do the following:

1. Right-click on the Printer Setup Utility and select Get Info.



2. Place a checkmark in the Open using Rosetta checkbox, and restart the computer.




3. Launch the Printer Setup Utility.

4. Click Add.



5. Click More Printers.



6. Select Lexmark X83/X84/X85 as appropriate from the drop-down menu.

7. Select Lexmark X83/X84/X85 as appropriate.
8. Click the Add button. The printer is now included in the Printer list.
