Re: unable to add printer to windows XP

[Chris]

Here I thought you were helping me with my problem : (

Test to see if your Dell can read the flopy disk without
trying to install the printer. If computer can't read the
files then get the driver from Lexmark website. Or you
could email youself those files from another computer that
can read the files from the floppy. You can than save
those file on Dell's hard drive. Hope this helps.

Floppy disks??????? Try the Lexmark website for XP drivers instead.
