If its not supported by Vista default drivers & Lexmark don't supply Vista
drivers, you are left with trying/experimenting with other Lexmark drivers. Which will probably cause other problems "Tilly14" wrote in message ...

Try installing the XP drivers and see what happens. If that doesn't work, then it's time to buy a new printer. DDW -- Reply via this group No email please

If it is not supported by Vista then the XP drivers will not work. You are telling the OP to experiment with the XP drivers for his printer which will probably cause problems for the OP. -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Try the XP ones, if they don't work, then it's time for a new printer.

Using XP drivers is a Microsoft recommendation, Peter.
