Please check if your Windows 7 is running on 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. Go to Start menu -> right-click on Computer -> Properties. Take note of the System Type.
Now, there's Z601 driver specific for Windows 7, however, the vista drivers work. Download the compatible driver for your operating system using the links below:
- Lexmark Z601 Driver for Vista 32-bit / Win 7 32-bit - Lexmark Z601 Driver for Vista 64-bit / Win 7 64-bit
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Instal only one printer driver on the PC it is physically connected to. Preferably the Windows 7 PC (Latest OS). Unshare the printer, remove drivers from other PC's., then reboot al PC,s and re-share the printer. The PC's sharing should allow the Windows 7 PC to use it's driver, although they may request a disc for basic information about the printer.

You need to download a driver for the printer. Whats the name and model of the printer?

You would need to download the vista driver to install. Hope this helps.
