Does anyone know where I can get a power supply pack for my Lexmark 8300. It won't turn on. I think it was zapped by lightning.

Vista is not friendly with printers at this point. Best bet is to get a printer that specifies Vista compatible. Or do what I did and created a dual boot with XP and install printer there. Let me know what you decide.

lexmark has drivers for Vista for most their printers now on their website. But they have not offered the software to run the all in one productivity suite which includes scanning, faxing etc.,
only printing is available as of now.
Isnt that why we bought the "all in one printer" in the first place? LOL

my p c accepted the printer was there and accepted the download then nothing. the error of printer not found and/or not communicating with printer, the good part is the 8300 knew the pc wasn't connecting to it and told me, funny you pay all this money out for a new computer,Vista, a modern ultimate updated program and you have to wait for a driver or buy a new printer, shouldn't this have been thought of by YOU, MICROSOFT EXPERTS, FIRST before releasing VISTA and fixed the glitch. I still like my Old Windows and you want to eliminate that now. Geeeeezzzzzzzzz

I HAVE DISK but vista will not install the drivers for the LEXMARK 8300

Comment by Guest, posted on Dec 08, 2007

Lexmark 8300 all in one printer, cannot install software disk that was provided. Where do I go from here?? At the time you buy this printer it is the best!! Why is it when you get it home- it becomes your problem and there is not one out there that cares about YOUR problem? Maybe it would be wise not to pay cash at the time of purchase or just keep returning your merchandise. This is my 3rd or 4th Lexmark Printer that I have purchased in recent years, unless I get this problem fixed ASAP it will be the last. Thank You

I had an HP pavillion with Windows XP, LEMON, finally, after many trips to the store where I purchased it, and 3X sending it to HP directly. THey tried to give me a re--furbished product, Oh no, I bought a new computer, I expect a new replacement. They reluctantly agreed, and I felt as though I had won a long hard fought battle. They replaced it with a new Pavillion w/Vista. You simply can NOT imagine the JOY I am feeling right about now. I, too, am facing incompatibility issues with EVERY freakin thing, and of course, the bozo's at the stores, "oh yes, this will work, since it came out AFTER VISTA. Where is the non Bu11sh1t line located?
