Please use the Vista driver in Windows 7. First, check if your Windows 7 is running on 32-bit or 64-bit system type. Go to Start menu > right-click on Computer > Properties. Take note of the System Type.
To download the printer driver, use the links below; - Lexmark X1185 Driver for Vista/Windows 7 32-bit - Lexmark X1185 Driver for Vista/Windows 7 64-bit
After downloading, execute the file and follow the instructions on your computer screen.

Drivers for Lexmark X1100 in vista should be built in, in any case I will try to find a download.

hi... if u don't know the lexmark tech support #... its this: 1800 332 4120... or u can live chat online on support.lexmark.com

if u r the do it yourself type... go to www.lexmark.com. in the search box on top right corner type "x1185". click search. scroll downwards & click on download driver & select windows vista. before u start download check whether urs is vista 32 bit or 64 bit. right click on computer entry in start menu & click properties. check what it says there under operating system type: 32 bit or 64 bit. if its 64 bit... download vista_x64 driver from the lexmark site else select just vista. after download... comes the long process of installation which would take even more instructions. i think u can just call the tech support & it will be a first call resolution

You've encountered 1 of the many issues with Vista. The OS is so gargantuan that Microsoft had to ax many of the drivers that were included with XP.

Copy & paste the above URL into your web browser & that will take you right to the driver download page. Select the red highlighted "Driver Download" for the 1200 series printers. This will send you to the Operating System selection page. Once selected you'll see the red highlighted .exe file. Select "download now". You should see a pop-up asking you to save the file. I like to send downloads to the desktop to facilitate installation of the software. You can later drag & drop it into whatever folder you like.

Make sure to remove the XP drivers before installing the Vista drivers. Also remember to unplug the USB cable from the printer prior to installing the Vista drivers. The installation software will prompt you when to re-install the USB cable.

Good luck.

icannot conect my lexmark x1185 to my compaq vista

vista doesn't like non-microsoft software. It will tell you that the lexmark software is not supported. Click install anyway. Do this before plugging in the printer or vista will assign it's own driver. Which wont work. Then go into the control panel and select the lexmark as the default printer

Yes works with Vista but you will need to use Vista driver not XP

I have the same issues with a Lexmark printer, Lexmark printers are not very user friendly with Vista. What I did is create a dual boot with XP and installed the software for the printer there. If interested in that follow these instructions or contact lexmark support.
