Shareing a printer 'Needs Driver"
Hey:
My dell desktop runs XP Home sp3 and has the software installed for our Lexmark x-75 printer. I now network with our new Gateway notebook with Vista Home Premium SP1. I want to be able to print from the notebook but I keep getting a message that says 'The Server for the 'Lexmark X74-75' printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. . . ' I'm not sure what this means or how to rectify it or certainly I don't know which computer needs the driver. Any help? Thanks, Ed H -- Windows Vista Home Premium 64-BIT SP1 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz 4.00 GB RAM 300 GB HDD

Shareing a printer 'Needs Driver"
You have to download a Vista Compatible Printer Driver(your model number)
from the Lexmark site for your laptop Go into Vista's Network and Sharing, and click "Add Network Device" browse to XP's Printer and take it from there for installation.. -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Ed H" wrote: Hey: My dell desktop runs XP Home sp3 and has the software installed for our Lexmark x-75 printer.

Thanks Mick. Seems a new printer will be in order. Finding that driver
hasn't been happening. Thanks, Ed H -- Windows Vista Home Premium 64-BIT SP1 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz 4.00 GB RAM 300 GB HDD "Mick Murphy" wrote in message ...

If Lexmark does not have a Vista driver for that model, grab a new printer.
A workaround is to copy and paste from the Vista machine, the files you want printed, to the XP machine, and print from it! -- Mick Murphy - Qld - Australia "Ed H" wrote: Thanks Mick.
