    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

    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

    Re: Lexmark Printer

    I waited a year and half for lexmark to provide drivers before for a different OS. its now been 3 years and printer is now listed as too old to support.

    might consider dumping lexmark and finding a company that has vista drivers available.
    epson has some and cannon has more.
