Problems installing lexmark x1270 all in one printer on vista

Trying to install lexmark x1270 all in one printer on my windows vista laptop. Downloaded the correct vista compatible driver from the website but after installation the printer does not work. It doesnt appear in the list of installed printers and it is almost as if the printer was never installed at all. I've disabled all programs that could possibly interfere with installation including firewalls and UAC. Any ideas what the problem may be?

LEXMARK X1270 INSTALATION SOFTWARE

All printer drivers are available online, through the manufacturers website.

In your particular case, the drivers can be found at:
http://downloads.lexmark.com/perl/downloads/downloads.cgi

You just have to navigate your region and language, then search for your particular printer model. You will have a choice of drivers for each of the common platforms (XP, Vista, etc.)

Laptop not communicating with printer windows xp

Vista uses a different driver. Here is Lexmark Support Page:

Lexmark Support

Enter your printer (X1270) and it will take you to the tech support page for your printer. Click "Download Driver". Next page select Vista as your operating system. Next page select "Download Now". It's a large file...40MB.

Save it on your desktop and when the download is done, double click the icon on your desktop to install.

Lexmark won't work with vista

First, Vista has it's own drivers and will assign it's own to your printer when you plug it in. This method will not work with many external devices. Completely disconnect the printer. Then install the lexmark driver. A window will pop up saying that the software being loaded is not approved by windows. Click install anyway. The software will instruct you when it is ok to connect the printer. You may have to go into the printer and faxes (control panel) and delete the current default printer.

Just one of the joys of having Vista
