Lexmark X74-X75 printer :-)
Hi all,
I am not having any issues with the Lexmark printer just wanted to share some surprising info:
For giggles I decided to see if Windows 7 could use this printer as a network printer.
The Lexmark printer is hooked up to a Compaq XP Pro desktop. Since all my pc's see each other on my home network I decided to use the printer as a network printer. To my surprise when I clicked "Add Printer" in Devices and Printers Windows 7 loaded the driver for the really old Lexmark. test page worked! I could never get Vista to work with this old printer but 7 does!
I also have a HP Officejet 4315 all-in-one printer (not as old) and it works great also. Both printers are shared. Didnt have a prob sharing them either. Both are recoginized in Devices and Printers too.
