Windows vista cannot read the disc for drivers for 3500-4500 series all in one printer

I suggest emailing lexmark and telling them u need a disc for a Lexmark X2550 printer. Maybe tell em yours didnt come with one when u bought it and be firm...or you can continue to try and download it from the internet.

Are the disc's compatible with Vista? I have had Vista fail to read older windows series discs

You have to go www.hp.com select your region and product then you have to choose OS and now you can printer's driver for free for life.
Your problem will solve.

If you don't use the HP software (i don't on my 1300 series) Uninstall all of it.
Then go to device manager and remove the printer,then reboot(while rebooting unplug the printer from the computer) and then once the computer is up, plug the printer to the computer, it will find the printer and let it search for drivers, it should find vista drivers for the 1300 series

if this may not work try this additional steps:

Go to Control panel>printers>Right click on the printer and select properties then ports and see if it set as a USB port if not you may have to create one

Since you didn't tell me the exact model, I have posted the drivers for the X4250.

Drivers for windows XP.

Drivers for windows Vista.

Thanks and please take a moment to rate as fixya.

This is what Lexmark says to do if you are having trouble loading your drivers:

(a)Attention Windows Vista Users
If you have installed your printer on your PC using an original Lexmark Driver CD that came with your product and you are experiencing problems when printing, you may have installed the Windows XP driver.

Follow these steps to resolve:
· Disconnect your USB cable from your printer.
· Uninstall all Lexmark printer drivers on your PC.
· Download the correct Vista driver for your model.
· Install the driver on your PC.

Important - Do not reconnect the USB cable until the install software prompts the question of how the printer is connected.

Here is the link to the correct Vista 32bit drivers for the X1100 series.

Lexmark does not offer the vista drivers on a cd. However you can download the drivers from them. Here is the link just look for your series printer and on the right side of the colum next your printer click driver download. On the next page choose your os then just download your driver package install and you should be done.
