Step 1
Decide where you'll place your printer. You'll want your printer to be in a location that is adjacent to power outlets, and also within the range of a cable reaching from the PC to the printer. Keep the printer in a location that's easy to clean and access.

Step 2
Locate the USB input on your Everex computer. Depending on your specific model, you'll probably find USB inputs on both the front and the back. For connecting a printer, it makes sense to use the connections on the back, leaving the front connections free for devices you'll connect only occasionally, like digital cameras or iPods.

Step 3
Examine your Lexmark printer for its inputs. More current models feature both a parallel port and a USB connection, while older models may only have a parallel port. The printer may or may not come with a matching cable--it depends upon the model of printer.

Step 4
Connect your printer to the computer. If both have a USB input, use a USB cable. They're inexpensive, fast and reliable. If your printer has a parallel port, you'll need a USB to parallel port cable (see Resources below).

Step 5
Test your printer. If the computer doesn't recognize the printer, go to the Lexmark website for manual information or to download the correct driver (see Resources below).
