Blame Lexmark, not Vista. They no longer support the product. |
I think you've nailed it Ron. I was hoping that he may have been a Service Pack behind, or that subsequent updates may have found a driver, but 10 years in tech timelines is a lifetime.
I just updated to Vista SP2 today.
Good news is, like you've stated, printers are cheap right now. You can get an all-in-one scanner/printer/fax/photocopier for about $100, or less. Basic printer even cheaper.
