Getting started with LexPrint
What is LexPrint?
LexPrint is a free application that lets you print easily from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch using any Lexmark printer
connected to the same wireless network. It lets you print Web pages, photos from the photo album, or photos you
recently captured using the camera of your mobile device, depending on its features. You can also customize print
settings from your mobile device.
Depending on your Lexmark printer model, you may need to download the LexPrint Listener application from our Web
site at www.lexmark.com/lexprint.
