Default Lexmark Drivers, what a let down!!!

You would think common sense for lexmark would be for them to release their
vista drivers now and give them a bit of a test before Vista is officially
released to consumers. That way they dont end up with a lot of very annoyed
Lexmark customers who buy different brands because of it (thats bound to
cost them money). From the sounds of it Canon seem to be the only one whos
printers are generally working most of the time!! I even read on here that
their planning on not releasing vista drivers for some of their printers
because they are older???? Come on now, not everyone can afford to splash
out on a new printers, especially if they just forked out to buy Vista!!!

Besides that alot of people are gonna blame Microsoft, which is unfair, as
already stated on another post in theis group, microsoft dont write the
drivers, they only provide what the manufactures give them,

Wish someone on the beta team could give Lexmark a nudge and get them to
release some beta drivers for us (soon not to be if this keeps going) loyal
Lexmark customers!!!

it wont make any diference to people like me because Ive had three
lexmark printers and all three where junk. Try epson they work well
with vista and to my suprise they are ten times the printer.

That's why I switched to Canon - found a cheap MP150 on ebay and it works
just fine with no special drivers needed.
