How To Make a Lexmark Printer for XP Print on Windows Vista

Your Lexmark printer might have been originally designed for use with Windows XP, but there is little preventing you from using it with your Vista system. The only major change you will have to make is updating your system drivers for Windows Vista, which will enable the Vista operating system to recognize and utilize your Lexmark printer.

Instructions

1. Click on the Lexmark page link in Resources below and enter in your product model number.

2. Download the Vista driver for your printer and select "Save." Save the file to your desktop.

3. Click "Start" and select "Control Panel." Select "Printers" and select "Add a printer."

4. Connect your Lexmark printer to the computer and select "Local" printers.

5. Click "Have Disk" and select the Desktop as the location to search for the printer drivers. This will install the Lexmark printer to your computer.
