I had to get a new tower for my computer and now I cannnot get the Lexmark Z700 printer to work.

Hi.

Here is a link the the products user-manual. Please read it and see if you understand how to install it on your computer..

http://download.cnet.com/Lexmark-Z700-P700-Series/3000-2116_4-146077.html Click and choose custom installation so you dont get extra stuff...

I'm sorry to inform you that the Lexmark Z705 is not compatible with Mac 10.6. Please contact Lexmark Technical Support Center for other options.

Make sure the Lexmark X1100 Printer Driver is installed on your computer.
If the printer driver was already installed and working with your computer, please follow steps below:
A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC.

1. Disconnect the printer from your computer.

2. Rebrick (pull out power supply, black box where the power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer, and put it back after 30 seconds).

2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.

3. Delete the Lexmark print object.

4. Reboot your pc.

5. When your pc turns on, reconnect the printer.
6. Wait until your pc fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list again, then try to print again.

if you go to lexmark web site and download driver for your printer 1200 and should be for the OS(e.g. XP/Win7). Hope it will work.

Lexmark never provided a driver for the Z 715 series.
Fortunately you are not out of luck, because the driver for the Z700 works just fine under Ubuntu.

You can get the driver here. Download both binary drivers (z700llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm AND lexmark-z700-cups-driver-1.1.1-1.i586.rpm).

There is a very detailed description of how to set up your printer in Ubuntu, in case you are having problems with that. Look here. The last post in the thread gives you all the information needed.

Don't forget to install "Alien" and "Libstdc++5" on your computer!!!

If you have any more questions, just come back here and leave a comment - I'm happy to help.

are you getting the driver direct from lexmark ? if so redownload it again, the file may have been corrupted. check again that you are getting the correct driver for your operating system as well.


robert

check the lexmark website and see if they got a vista driver for that printer.if not best bet is to buy a new one

Hello,

The software can be downloaded from the Lexmark website at the below link:

Absolutly...make sure you visit Lexmark.com and get the latest driver. But both the Z700 and the Z705 use the same driver.

Good luck to you my friend.
