Printer install failed...very frustrating
Hi
Can anybody help me with installation of a printer. It's only a bogstandard Lexmark 610 for ease of use when travelling. Every time I try to install I get 'unable to install software drivers' message saying not able to write to specified target!!!! I am running vista on a new laptop and message seems to indicate that the drivers are not compatable with vista BUT I have another (also new and also vista) laptop and the printer installed on that one no problem!! HELP!!!! Thanks in advance!! |

I cannot find any reference to a 610 at the Lexmark website... the closest I
can come is the Z611. There are Vista drivers there, but since they use cookies, I can't give you a direct link... just go to www.lexmark.com and you'll type in z611 and they should appear. Obviously remember to install the driver package BEFORE connecting the printer to the PC. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Terec61" wrote in message ...

Hi Cari
Many Thanks for your suggestion. I should have said in my initial query that I have downloaded the latest driver from the lexmark website but still the same problem. I feel the problem is more with the laptop itself and possibly something to do with the settings or something.....i will just have to trawl through everything I can think of to rectify....if all else fails I will just rest to original settings ...or throw it thru the window!!!!!!LOL!...Again thanks for your help Tere "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: I cannot find any reference to a 610 at the Lexmark website... the closest I can come is the Z611.
