I have a 333 imac, running 9.0.4, and my new Lexmark Z22 printer will not print.
I have loaded the driver, via CD, and the printer control panel will do a test print
OK, but when I select it in the chooser, I get a message the "driver is not loaded".

You're not the only one who's experienced
problems with Lexmark printers and Mac
compatibility. I recently purchased a Z32
at Walmart for $70 (HPs were twice as
much) for use with my 400 MHz iMac DV.
Although the box said the Z32 was Mac
compatible, the first thing I saw when I
opened the box was a note saying, in
essence, "Attention Mac users: the Mac
driver is not included on this CD-ROM.
You must go to www.lexmark.com and
download it." I did that, and the printer is
working. However, I do experience
random system failures when printing
from certain programs like Quark and
SimpleText on a seemingly random
basis. My advice to you is to search
Lexmark's website for an update or driver
patch. Lexmark is an offspring of IBM
Computers, and Lexmark's headquarters
are right here in Lexington, KY where I
live.

You've probably turned off Desktop Printing
Should be on. ( I assume you did read the System requirements on the outside of the box.
These are very nice printers...

I got my Z32 nearly a yr back, it came with
the Mac driver, did well at first, after 2
months it stopped printing, a call to Lex's
helpline wasn't fruitful. Took me another 2
mths to get it running again. I suspect
there is a conflict betw OS 9.0 and the
driver.

I'm married to an iMac DV 400 and an
iBook....hope I'm not breaking the law!!!!
