STEP 1: Navigate to the System Preferences and to the Printers & Scanners button

STEP 2: Click the + button at the bottom of the printer list panel.

STEP 3: Click the “Advanced” cog icon at the top of the panel. Choose the Windows printer via spoolss after it stops looking for printers.

NOTE: IF the Advanced icon does not show up on your panel, you will need to right-click on the toolbar and select "customize toolbar" from the drop-down. Then, left click and drag the Advanced icon up into the toolbar.

STEP 4: Choose "Windows printer via spoolss" in the Type pull-down and "Another Device" in the Device pull-down.

STEP 5: Enter the smb://print-server/ with the queue name (listed below) of the printer they will be printing to.

STEP 6: Enter a descriptive common printer “name” and select the Use: “Select Software...” in the pull-down field.

STEP 7: Once you select the Use to be 'Select Software...' a window called 'Printer Software' should appear. Search for "Lexmark" and then select the appropriate model (usually XM7155) (a list with the printers and their model numbers can be seen below). Click 'Ok'.

STEP 8: CLICK Add and test the printer.

STEP 9: Click "Configure" when prompted, and then click OK.
