How to Install a Lexmark X85 Printer Without an Installation CD
The Lexmark X85 is a compact printer that not only prints, but it contains a scanner on the top of the machine. With the scanner glass you can image documents and pictures to store on your hard drive, or you can make copies without going to a copy store. If you have had your X85 or have inherited it from someone else, there is a good chance the installation CD disappeared long ago. Fortunately, with the Internet you can still download the drivers for the X85 onto your computer.
