I want to set up
I used an Lexmark E342 printer driver. It is the Lexmark version of the printer and the driver that is readily available for Windows 7.

Those photoconductors have a limited life and have to be replaced. The message is warning that it is near the end of its life and wants you to have one ready when it goes out. Most printers will prevent you from printing when it reaches the end of the service life, some will let you continue to print but you will get reduced image quality. Either way, you'll need a new one soon.
