try using that link to d/l the file, if you still cant d/l then you'll have to call Lexmark support and pay to have a CD shipped to you.

It would be better if you install the software/driver first in your computer. The software also shows you the instructions on how to setup the printer itself. Here are the drivers available for download in the Lexmark website. Just click on the driver compatible with your computer's operating system.
- Lexmark X75 AIO Printer driver for Mac OS X, Mac OS X 10.1, Mac OS X 10.1.5, Mac OS X 10.2, Mac OS X 10.2.1, Mac OS X 10.2.8, Mac OS X 10.3.x, and Mac OS X 10.4.x.
- Custom Driver for Microsoft Windows 2000
- Driver for Microsoft Windows XP
These are the only available drivers. That means the printer is not compatible with Mac 10.5, Mac 10.6, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
For additional information, here's the Setup Sheet (Lexmark X74, X75) and the User's Guide (Lexmark X74, X75) . Hope this helps.

I regret to inform you that the hardware/technology of this printer would not support the 32/64 bit processes of the Vista OS. That is why there will be no driver developed for this machine.

It does not appear that Vista is capable of supporting such an old printer.

I just checked the Lexmark Web Site and I do not see a driver for the X75 under the OS Compatibility guide.

I would like to inform you that X73 printer is not compatible with Windows Vista OS and there are no driver available. However, if you are a US citizen then you may contact Lexmark chat or email support and they will give you 20% discount if you purchase a new Lexmark printer.

pls check the manual of your printer if it is compatible in your O.S. Vista.. if yes, maybe some programs are conflict.. try to re set up yup O.S. then Install the printer driver.. ^^ don't forget to install your motherboard driver before installing the printer..


Cheers ^^

Can't install a Lexmark X75

Here are the drivers for your printer:

I'm not sure what operating system you have, but Lexmark doesn't have any drivers for Vista on this particular model.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

To my knowledge, the Lexmark X75 is not Vista compatible and the Lexmark site does not list any drivers for this model. Further I was made to understand that they have no plans of coming up with Vista drivers for "discontinued" products. Sorry.

Offhand, am afraid your only option is for the purchase of a Vista compatible printer.

Alternately, you can try;

Since Vista supposedly has drivers for many printers pre-installed, though they are very basic and often will not allow other features to function fully, you can try auto-detect/install. The idea is to connect your printer to the PC/Laptop without installing the XP driver CD and 'keep your fingers crossed'; or

Force a bare install. Pop in the XP CD but do not install (exit). Rather, open the contents of the CD and look for an ".inf" file, right click to install and see if Vista will take it from there. There night be a couple of them inside the CD.

If your X75 still did not install by either alternative method, guess it will have to be a new printer..

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

From what I can see Vista already has the drivers for this printer built in, so if you have installed the Windows XP drivers from CD you may need to remove them first and see how it goes with the standard Vista drivers.

Please note that some functions may not be available as this product is not completely Vista compatible.
