Go to Lexmark’s Web site (see link below). Next, click “Drivers and Downloads.” Now, click “Driver Finder.”

Click on your model number. Make sure you match it exactly.
Step5
Select your platform. If you are not sure which version of your OS you have, open your Control Panel and double-click “System.”

Select your driver. There will be quite a few options to download. Look for a “Full Driver” package with installer. Next, click “Download Now.”
Step7
Select “Save as…” or “Save to Disk…” Choose a location to save the file that will be easy for you to find. The desktop is a good place.

Uninstall old drivers. Open Printers and Faxes from your Control Panel and right-click your printer. Click “Delete.”
Step9
Install new drivers. Double-click the executable file that you downloaded.
