Alan,
I did get that driver from Lexmark. I have gotten the printer installed on
my machine and was able to print to it but the printouts sit in the queue of
the printer on the XP machine and show an Error - Print.... I cannot tell
what the error is. This happened with two Test Pages I tried to print.
Thanks in advance for the help.
