You have a departmental printer that you are trying to use like a desktop printer. You don't need a USB printer port on your router. All you have to do is to connect your Mac, your PC, the Lexmark Optra LX+ to the router via standard CAT 5 Ethernet cables. Run a cable from each device to a LAN port on the router.

also i have conneced parallel port cable from PC to printer.

Forget the parallel port. You don't need it. You will print from your Windows computer to the Lexmark via IP-printing. Installing your driver for IP-printing is non-intuitive, but relatively simple.

But i don't know, if i want to print from MAC, how can i print?

To get the most out of your printer, you should download and install the PPD and PDE files from Lexmark's website. Then, you should launch Printer Setup Utility to set up your printer. This is only a guess, but I expect Bonjour to discover your printer automatically.

Also i have another printing problem, i want to create and add a printer in MAC called 'PDF Printer' in my printer list.

Use Printer Setup Utility.
