Your Lexmark X1270 printer was designed for rosoft Windows 2000; Microsoft Windows XP; Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64; Microsoft Windows Vista; Microsoft Windows Vista x64; and Microsoft Windows 7 as it is indicated in its webpage. Remember, drivers and softwares are always limited from the manufacturer's releases. I recommend that you upgrade your printer to a Mac compatible printer. You may choose from this LINK.
I hope this works for you. Kindly reply/comment for further assistance. Good Luck!
I suggest not to plug the Lexmark X1270 printer to your computer yet. Check if your Vista is running on 32-bit or 64-bit operating system by clicking on the Windows logo Start menu > right click on Computer > Properties. Then download the driver using this link: http://bit.ly/bXZRXb (for 32-bit) or this link: http://bit.ly/a36jJl (for 64-bit). Execute the file and follow the instructions on the software. Hope this helps.
You can download software that is usually found on CDs that ship with the printer. Lexmark support has the following files for your X1270. Be sure to download the correct one for your operating system:
If the Lexmark software is not compatible with Vista, there is nothing you can do. Lexmark is telling you the the driver code does not play well with with the O/S.
Sometimes if you know of a comparable HP printer you can use that driver to talk to our printers but there may be some odd-problems that surface.
The best thing to do is to purchase a Lexmark printer that is compatible with Vista. It not uncommon for printer to be abandoned as the code grows more and more complex.
First, Vista has it's own drivers and will assign it's own to your printer when you plug it in. This method will not work with many external devices. Completely disconnect the printer. Then install the lexmark driver. A window will pop up saying that the software being loaded is not approved by windows. Click install anyway. The software will instruct you when it is ok to connect the printer. You may have to go into the printer and faxes (control panel) and delete the current default printer.
The only way to setup the printer without the proper drivers would be to use windows add new printer. However windows does not have lexmark x1270 listed. You can dlownload the software from lexmark & install the software / drivers without using the cd. http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:537:0:0
You need to choose your version of windows to continue.
