General Comments

Specifically relating to installation problems: I've had my Lexmark X73 working fine for a couple of months on a relativly new machine (Win 2000) but moving it onto an old PC (also Win 2000) resulted in the grief which everyone else seems to be suffering from. Dead as a Dodo.

But I have managed a work around solution. Read on.

Don't follow the lexmark installation instructions which say unplug the printer beforehand, but uninstall all your previous efforts, reboot your PC and just plug the USB lead in without any of the Lexmark software installed.

Win 2K should see the USB hub inside the machine and install a generic driver. Then my machine spotted that there was a printer hanging off the hub and the "add new hardware" wizard prompts for drivers.
Stick your Lexmark CD into your drive and let it search for the drivers.

This much got the printer going but not the scanner.

So then I ran the Lexmark installation from scratch which installs scanner driver as well as all the other software.

So far so good. I just hope it stays that way!
