Will my new LexMark printer/scanner/copier work with my computer which has a Windows ME operating system? I finally noticed on the box it says for system requirements: Vista, XP, and Mac.

Please ensure that the Lexmark X75 printer driver is properly installed on your computer. You can download and install the X75 printer driver by visiting the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/iSpJjv. Select your operating system, download and execute the file. Follow the instructions on your computer screen.
Note: The Lexmark X75 printer is not compatible with Vista and Windows 7.

What is the operating system on your computer? Make sure to set your Lexmark X2250 printer as your default printer in the Control Panel (for Windows) or in the system preferences (for Mac). If you don't see the Lexmark print object in the control panel or system preferences, you should try to download and install the driver for your printer. Visit the Lexmark website using this link Lexmark X2250 Drivers. Select your operating system by clicking on change OS.


Then click on FILTER.


Click on the complete driver under Recommended Downloads. Download, execute the file and follow the instructions on the software.NOTE: Use the Vista driver in Windows 7. If you encounter any problem downloading or installing the software, please contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance.
I hope this information has been helpful. Thanks.

The scanner and copy buttons function only when the printer is connected to a running Windows computer in which the proper Lexmark printer software is properly installed. The copy and scan functions are not available in the "free-standing" mode unlike, for example, higher end HP all-in-ones which can operate independently as copier, scanner, and fax.

These buttons do not work when the x1270 is installed on a Linux system since Windows is required. At this date the Lexmark site provides software for Win2K thru Win7 and no Linux or Mac. Information for a Linux install can be found searching online and I have done so. I don't know about Macs on this.

hi
Try and find out if u its a vista-32 or vista-64 bit operating system..downloaded relevant driver from www.lexmark.com.. Install downloaded driver

go to http://downloads.lexmark.com/perl/downloads/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:0:0:0
type your model number and click search. select Your Operating System (Windows XP/Vista; Mac).
Click "download now".
Do not connect the lexmark to your computer until the application tells you to.
Open the file that you downloaded and follow the directions.

You will need to check the Lexmark website and check the model of the printer/scanner that you're using if it has any available drivers for Windows 98/ME. If it does then you shouldn't have any problems installing and using your new printer on an old machine.

You didn't specify which operating system you have.

If you have Vista, people have reported success using the Windows 2000 driver.

Drivers can be downloaded from here:

Hi Margaret,
Unfortunatly your operating system is not supported by this printer. By using such an aged Windows version, please be mindful to review the supported operating systems on the side of the box of any hardware (e.g. printers, cameras) or software that you may purchase in the future.
My personal recomendation would be to upgrade to least Windows XP if your computer is equipped with the processor and ram to do so. You are going to find yourself running to this situation more and more as the generations of Windows progress.
If this is not an option for you, simply find an alternate printer that is supported by Win98 and return the one you've purchased.
I hope this helps,
T-Mo
