Lexmark Printer
I've installed my printer drivers with Vista, and although they installed, I
can't get my printer to communicate with my computer. I know that the cords are all plugged in and functioning properly, so this seems to be a computer issue. Any ideas? |

Maybe they Lexmark don't have drivers for you for Vista. You didn't say
which printer you have. Go here and take a look. See they have yours already: http://support.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/...70&relevance=0 Or if yours is coming soon: http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/seque...567_en,00.html They don't have mine yet but says coming soon for my X5270 all in one.

Good. Glad to hear that for you too. I hope coming soon does mean soon and
not a year. I saw some where in there they were saying if our's aren't out yet that they would be during 2007. BOY oh BOY... 2007 is a whole year - LOL "Kathleen" wrote in message ...

I've got the same issue with my Lexmark X4270 - except at least the
website says drivers will be available January 30th (subject to change). I know one thing though - do NOT use their existing software and drivers on Vista! Things get really ugly really fast! :O Ed. wrote: Good. Glad to hear that for you too. I hope coming soon does mean soon and not a year.
