    • Step 1

      Turn on the printer and open the top lid to insert the ink cartridges. Make sure to remove the protective tape that covers the cartridge contacts. Close the lid.

    • Step 2

      Boot your computer to the desktop and plug the printer cable into a vacant USB port.

    • Step 3

      Insert the driver CD. A dialog box should appear asking you to insert the software CD that came with the printer.

    • Step 4

      Click "Continue"; the driver should install. If you don't have the software CD or are running the Microsoft Vista operating system, download the driver from the Lexmark X2470 support page (see Resources).

    • Step 5

      Check the printer installation by printing a test page. Click on "Control Panel>Printers>Properties>Maintenance>Print Test Page."
    • Skill: Moderately Easy
