this printer will not work with Vista. Lexmark advises that they do not have an updated driver and will not be creating one and suggests buying a new printer. Vista has created a lot of problems for everyone as most hardware and software are rejected by Vista. If anyone knows how to get around this other than destroying the computer, please say
this is a repost of some good info
Trying to use other windows drivers under vista.
Double click the program compatibility wizard on the desk top. Choose what ever version of windows
The driver was for.
Now browse to your driver setup.exe icon , click next and finish the wizard.
This is by NO means a 100% way of getting a older driver to work but some xp/2k drivers do
Work if you use the compatibility wizard
update
its come to my attention that microsoft has not put the compatibility wizard on the desktop of all versions of vista,
this is the correct way to now find the compatibility wizard.
Click the Start ,
Click on Control Panel,
Click on Programs. Additional program options will be displayed
In the Programs and Features section click the link Use An Older Program With This Version of Windows. The Program Compatibility Wizard will launch.
you can now follow the above advice on installing your driver in vista.
some people are telling me that the Compatibility Wizard is not built in all versions of vista , this is not ture its built in every version of vista.
the m/s way to find it can be found here.
