Any Ideas anyone, I appreciate any help! Posted 19 March - PM Hi, good news. Download and run the patch printer cleanup utility until it prompts you to restart your computer.
Restart your computer. Make sure the printer is removed. Connect the printer at this time powered on. Sent from my All-In-One Desktop.
Thank you for your reply. As I replied to the other Rick, this is a home, not an office, and if we can't get this printer to talk to Vista nicely, it's not a huge deal. Reinstalling bit really isn't an option for us, since we then "lose" 1 GB of memory, since bit won't see more than 3 GB.
This printer driver is the only issue we've run across so far. I found a work-around for my HP LaserJet n and Vista, and that's the printer my son is more likely to need on a regular basis. I just didn't want to try the bit driver if it wasn't going to work, and possibly foul things up on the computer.
With school just getting underway, doing a reinstall to clean up that mess is more trouble than it's worth. But I appreciate your offer of help and suggestions. I'm sorry. I thought it was an antique. I had a printer like that in No offense taken at all! I tend to treat our computers and peripherals like our cars--buy one though actually my dad got this printer for free when he bought a new Dell in Jan. When the 's output deteriorates, or when I need better color printing, I'll upgrade and obviusly get a bit Vista-compatible printer.
Anyway, no need to apologize. I do appreciate the feedback, even if it's not an answer I particularly want. My Vista machine already has 4 GB installed, so I certainly want to be able to utilize what's already there. Anyway, as I was Googling to pinpoint which Lexmark printer the was based off of, I decided to see if there was any other information on the internet for the and Vista bit. I located another forum, with a similar question.
The reply listed 2 links for drivers, one bit and this one for bit:. Since it took me to a Dell download page, and it showed compatibility with Vista bit, I figured it couldn't hurt. The driver downloaded and seemed to install fine. I could "see" the Dell on the XP desktop, but couldn't get it to print--the status in the printer tools said it couldn't communicate.
I unplugged the printer from the other desktop and moved it to the Vista machine. It was recognized and could print a test page when connected directly by USB. I didn't try to see if either XP computer could see it and print to it. I don't really have a space near the Vista machine to give it a "home" there.
