Win 7 is not very friendly towards older equipment.

First check to see if your printer has a Win 7 driver. If it does, install the new driver.

If there is not a driver, then the printer manufacturer has decided that it will not support the older printer on Win 7. Look for a generic printer driver on Win 7 to replace your printer driver.

I just bought a new computer, is comes with windows 7, it will not install my printer software, what should I do?

It is most likely due to the original software not being compatible with Windows 7. Go to the printer's manufacturer's website and look for "download drivers" or something similar. Download the drivers for Windows 7 (make sure you select 32 or 64 bit according to your computer) and install these drivers. If the printer is very old (4-5 or more years old), there may not be drivers available.

Trying to install software for x4270 into new machine with Windows 7. Tells me software not available in English. Was previously installed with XP in old machine with no problems. Any ideas?

Uninstall the existing Lexmark X4270 printer driver from your Windows 7 by going the Start menu ? Programs ? Lexmark 4200 Series ? Tools ? Uninstall. Reboot pc when prompted. When pc turns on, check if your Windows 7 is running on 32-bit or 64-bit operating system by going to the Start menu ? right-click on Computer ? click on Properties. Take note of the system type.
Download and install the X4270 driver for Windows 7 using the links below:

Follow the instructions in the software.
Thanks.

Have a GSC-R30 Toshiba camcorder, have had it for a few years. never used it to download my movies, although I installed the software on my old Windows XP computer. NOW, I just bought a new computer with...

I question your use of the word 'new' to describe a Win 7 computer, and with a camcorder that old, it will be impossible to find drivers for any OS later than XP.

Have a new computer with windows 7 - the lexmark X5470 printer I have was hooked to my old computer with CD Windows 98 Op - how do I reprogram to new computer

There is no specific software required for the printer to work in Windows 7. When you plug it in Windows should find the driver in it's own driver data base and the printer should function. Below is a link to a Microsoft video explaining how to manually add the printer.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Install-a-printer

Alternately you can download and install the Vista drivers as recommend by Lexmark for Windows 7 use.

Old computer died. new computer has Windows 7. Can't get printer to install even though it says it is and status is good. Help!

Try the link "Upgrading to Windows 7?" from this Lexmark support page. This is also where you would download the software for your model and OS.

Lexmark X3470 Downloads

If attempting a reinstallation, uninstall the current printer driver first and follow the "Upgrading to Windows 7?" information.

Running windows 7 printer wont print anything but installed ok

Is this a brand new computer or did you upgrade to Windows 7? If you did an upgrade, you needed to uninstall the old drivers (with the printer disconnected from the computer). Then you could install Windows 7 and finally install the printer.

You can try unplugging the USB cable, uninstalling the printer and then reinstalling it.

What software are you using to create the file that you want to print? With Microsoft Office, I have seen reports that changing the font on a document can cure a failure to print the document with Word.

I hope this helps.
