Lexmark Printer Version X6170

Is your new iMac an intel? Have you gone on line to make sure it's compatible with your iMac?

Hi there!

I am afraid Miriam is correct.

I just visited the Lexamrk site and as far as I can tell your model does not have a compatible driver for Mac OSX: http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:383:0:0 - there is no work around, unles you can find a "similar" model that does have a driver for Mac's and try that. I have done that for other printer, i.e. used another driver to make the printer do something it may not have been designed to do etc etc etc...

Hi again,

<fwiw> I use an HP and an Epson quite easily on both a MAC and a PC. Personally I highly recommend HP printers, I have had the least amount of problems re: use with the MAC...

But I also have a backup printer for both and guess what, I lucked out with a LEXMARK Z55... If you like Lexmark printers look over the Mac OSX compatible printers here: http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/sequentialem/home/0,6959,204816596666691854_682634834en,00.html

Good luck, Rick
