Have a Lexmark X4270 all-in-one and am not able to automatically install on my desktop pc. I have to use the USB option. Print Wizard, the printer detector and installation program in my start menu, wouldn't connect because it "couldn't find necessay software". It asked me to try the cd-rom disc but I don't have one. Please advise. Thank you. If it matters i'm using Windows XP.

Try downloading the driver from
http://support.lexmark.com/index?segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_X4270&page=product&frompage=null#1
you may have corrupted software.
Let me know if this solves your problem. Thanks.

install the cd first. and do not connect the usb wire first and follow the instructions.and connect the usb wire when it prompts u to connect the usb wire.

Starting the Installation Log on to the PC as Local Administrator.
Windows 2000: Double-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop. Double-click to open the Control Panel window and then double-click on the icon labelled Printers. Double-click on Add Printer to start the Add Printer Wizard. The dialog below will be displayed.
Windows XP: From the Start menu, select the option Printers and Faxes. Click on the task Add a Printer to start the Add Printer Wizard. The dialog below will be displayed.
Click on the Next button to display the dialog shown below. Ignore the instructions in this particular dialog box because they are incorrect.
The Wizard provides installation options for local and network printers. Select the option Local printer if you are installing drivers for a personal printer (using a USB, serial or parallel connection). If the option Automatically detect my printer is selected, you will see the warning message below.
If you are installing drivers for a TCP/IP LAN printer, you should also select the option Local printer. For a LAN printer, always ensure that the Automatically detect my printer option is not selected.
The Add Printer Wizard will display the dialog below so that you can specify which port (connector) the printer uses.
For a personal printer, ensure that the button for Use the following port is selected. From the list, select the Local Port to be used -- this is normally the parallel port, LPT1. If you are unsure, please refer to the documentation supplied with your printer or check which type of cable is being used.

thanking u for using fixya

contact lexmark support.... either online or via phone...

you can also try this link and remember select the generic print driver for your model

you can also look for the driver on driverguide.com

if that doesn't work... try googling lexmark x4270 ppd files... you might find the driver that way...


I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/norman_d2fa496dce30c65d

un-install the old drivers and software, then reboot the computer with the USB cable to the printer pulled out and reinstall the lexmark software, it will tell you if you need to put the cable in!

here is the authentic lexmark sofware just in case:

Dont plug that printer into your computer without first installing the software. The drivers for that printer can be found at lexmark.com, then choose "Drivers and Downloads" on the top bar. Then type in your printer model number, and choose your operating system. After the installation is complete, you can plug your printer in, and it should find the drivers automaticly.

sounds like your scan settings need a look..do you have the print manager installed?

Please goto this link and choose your appropriate operating system (XP, windows 98, etc.. ) click on it, then click on the file provided, download and install!
