 | Vista - Shareing a printer 'Needs Driver" |

| | 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 |

| | RE: 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: Quote: > Hey: > > My dell desktop runs XP Home sp3 and has the software installed for our > Lexmark x-75 printer.

| | Re: Shareing a printer 'Needs Driver" Thanks Mick. Seems a new printer will be in order. Finding that driver hasn't been happening.

| | Re: Shareing a printer 'Needs Driver" 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: Quote: > Thanks Mick.
