SOURCE: lexmark x1180 doesn't want to print
i am trying to download a driver for my printer which is Lexmark X1180
The Vista drivers available on the Lexmark website do not contain the All-In-One Center. They are minimum drivers. Although the scan drivers are shipped with the web package, they cannot be used by the All-In-One Center since it is not included. Please use Windows Scanners and Cameras or Photo Gallery for Scanning.

A technique to improve print quality is to try and clean the cartridge nozzles. You may clean the cartridge by following the steps given below:
1. Go to the "Lexmark solution center." This can be done by clicking on "Start," go to "Programs" and Lexmark printer group. Click on the "Lexmark Solution center." Next click on the "Maintenance" Tab.
2. Select "Clean and Fix Horizontal streaks." Click on "Print". This will produce a printed page.
The colors that you should see here are black, yellow, magenta (a reddish purple) and cyan (a dark sky blue). You should notice the diagonal lines above and below the solid horizontal lines. These diagonal lines should be solid from left to right with no gaps.
If there are gaps in the lines or the print diminishes across the page, you should run the "Clean Print Nozzle" page a couple more times to try and clear it up. If you still have gaps at the top and bottom, you should "wick" the cartridges by following the steps given below:
1. Please open the "Solution center" again and go to the "Maintenance" Tab.
2. Select "Install color/black cartridge" and remove the cartridge or cartridges from the printer.
3. Get a damp paper towel.
4. Set the ink cartridge right side up on the damp paper towel so that the ink nozzles are against the towel and hold the cartridge in this position for about 15 seconds.
5. Now wipe the print head (on the bottom where the ink comes out) across in one direction only (left to right) until it looks clean.
6. Next dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure that the ink is flowing.
7. Snap the cartridges back into the printer.
8. On your computer, select "Old Cartridge install."
9. Repeat the "Clean Nozzle Page" one more time. If this fails to address the problem the entire procedure may need repeating.

OCR stands for Optical Character Recogniton.
It's a program that can take images of scanned documents, (text), and recognize each character, then retype it as a text document that can be edited or reformated as you wish.
Chances are you tried the OCR function, and haven't installe the option for OCR.
It's one of several software programs that would have come with the Installation CD which would also have included, the Drivers for the printer and scanner, a copy utility, diagnostic utility and other stuff.
In the opening menu, perhaps an extras menu will have the option to install OCR.
Try the installation again to see if there is the option.
Other than that, you should be able to "Aquire" images through the scanner via an immage utility (File / Aquire / Scanner), or Microsoft Office program (Insert / Image / From scanner or camera).
Also there is a PhotoCopy function on the device that takes a Scan from the scanner and prints it directly to the printer.
