What model was the printer? And what country did you look for as far
as Lexmark support goes?

Drivers can be pretty tough to track down. Enough so to warrant a
dedicated thread.

Thanks, that's the one. Immediate problem solved.


I'm still looking for an answer to the global question...
How the heck did you find it? I googled for two days
with no result.
Are there search engines/sites better suited to finding
hardware drivers?
Free alternatives to Driverguide?

thanks, mike

I used Ixquick search, which yet again has produced a plum, although
it took a little more digging than some searches I've embarked upon.
Some of the search field entries are more by hunch than logic ...

Mmmm er not that I've noticed.

Ha! We should be so lucky.
(I remember the days when driverguide was a brilliant resource.)

Thanks, REM.
Your link worked for me this time. I also noticed that they'd
provided a rather decent range of drivers, so I'm not feeling as
bad about Lexmark as I did earlier.
