Lexmark 3500-4500 Printer Original CD Driver For Windows Needed in Galway Please!

confuseddotcom

Only gettin' around to asking now, meant to check weeks ago, but am just wondering if there's any-one in Galway (Mods please don't move this Thread, it's some-one in same location that I need.) that would have the original CD Driver for Lexmark 3500-4500 Series Printer, that I could borrow for a day or the few hours that it's needed.

I mis-laid mine, and it's the only option I have left to try and get my ever-troublesome Printer working or else will have to go buy a new one.

As it happens my Printer model has been dis-continued I think, but anyways there is like 5 Laptops in the house lol, and I've tried downloading the Driver off the Lexmark Website onto a couple of the Laptops. On mine I keep getting asked to re-boot my computer a couple of steps into the installing process, on another Laptop it just freezes the screen and doesn't install anything at all, so my thoughts are that there's something not right on the Website end, when it's a few Laptops that it won't install on. However I was lucky to discover that the Driver Software has been installed on one other of the House Laptops and this would have been from 8 months to a year ago, and it prints on that, so this also leads me to believe that there is something up with the Website for the last while ...... So to try and get it installed on the other Laptops, final thing to try is the original Driver CD itself and maybe see if that can in some way kick-start it to install right lol if I could only lay my hands on it ..... So if any-one out there has one please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

(Apologies for getting technical in a non-tech Thread I just wanted to explain why I need to try out the Original CD Driver and see if that works, cheers.)

Perhaps those CDs are hard to come by so if you don't get a response here for a CD I'll kick this over to Computer forum where they can show you how to copy drivers from one computer to another.
Or maybe someone in Cork has the drivers and can upload them for you.

Thanks Biko. I have tried to transfer Driver from one computer to another but that won't even open silly thing. I was trying to get the point across that just downloading the Driver off a Website as a person normally would, isn't working for whatever reason, so that's why I need to try the original CD Driver, - there might be very slight things different on the CD that might make the difference in its' installing I don't know. Will check in other Forum cheers.

Eh um Cork?! Are they good with Computers down there or what?! :D

You can try copying the drivers again, just in case?

have u tried running the downloaded drivers in "compatibility mode"?

i find if i get a driver installation program being fail it works if u set the setup file to run in "compatibility mode" example if your laptop is win 7 try set the compatibility mode to vista sp2 mode

if laptop is vista set the setup file to run in xp sp3 compatibility mode

9 times out of 10 it will work when it comes to printer drivers

confuseddotcom

Set-up file?!? Yeah it's Vista. Have SP2. Don't fancy messin' about, wouldn't be sure what I'm at lol. Fec it anyways I'd be able get it back printing like if there was only a way to get into System Restore prior 2 a fecin measly 5 days like ..... :rolleyes::(

Guess no-one has a Lexmark 3500-4500 Printer CD then ........
