Obtaining the Printer Driver

Download the printer driver .zip file that matches the printer and your computer's operating system:

Konica Minolta Bizhub C364 colour multi-function printer

Konica Minolta Bizhub 423 monochrome multi-function printer



Before You Begin

You will require an account tracking code and the IP address of the printer you want to install. IP addresses for the Konica Minolta printers can be found here.

Installing the Printer Driver

Windows

Unzip the printer driver file, go into the resulting Driver folder and run Setup64.exe.

Click on AGREE.
Select Install printers/MFPs and Preference for IPv4, then click on Next.
When this dialog appears, you will probably have to wait for a while for it to search for available printers.
Once it has returned control to you, select Specify the Printer/MFP...(IP Adress, Host Name..., then click on Refer to... It will take you to the Manual Selection dialog.
Type in the IP address of the printer you want to use. Once you've typed in the IP, click on OK.
When you're back at the Select Printer/MFP to Install dialog, click on Next.
Select the PCL driver, then click on Next.
Click on Install.
When the installation has completed, click on the Property button.
Click on Preferences....
On the Printing Preferences dialog, click on the Basic tab, then click on Authentication/Account Track....
On the User Authentication/Account Track dialog, enter your account tracking code in the Password field, then click on OK.
Click OK on the subsequent dialogs, and Finish on the last dialog.



You have now succesfully installed the printer driver.

Mac OS X

Unzip the printer driver file, go into the resulting Driver folder and run the appropriate driver package for "letter" sized paper. In the case of our example, we will be installing a driver for the Konica C364 colour printer onto a Mac running OS X 10.7.

Double-click on the appropriate package file and then Continue through all the prompts until the installation is complete.
Driver install has succeeded. Now we can move onto actually installing a Konica-Minolta printer.
