Need drivers for printers
I have reinstalled Windows Me and need to find drivers for my printers, a
Lexmark X5150 and an HP 932c. I have tried the manufacturers' sites and a couple of free driver download sites, without success. Any suggestions (other than upgrading my Windows)? Lee |

What about the disk(s) that came with the printers? Can you find them as
they should contain the drivers you need. -- Mike Maltby hepme wrote: I have reinstalled Windows Me and need to find drivers for my printers, a Lexmark X5150 and an HP 932c.

It would make life much simpler if I had the disks, but they are not
available. (The computer belongs to a daughter who was about 12 years old when she got it--enough said?). Lee "Mike M" wrote: What about the disk(s) that came with the printers?

Need drivers for printers
Lee,
As you have discovered both HP and Lexmark no longer have drivers for Win 9x operating systems such as Win Me available for download, the reason being that these operating systems are no longer supported by Microsoft. Have a look at http://www.printer-drivers.com/, hopefully you'll find something there. Lexmark X5150 - No Win Me drivers but I can see several for Win98 one of which will hopefully do the trick. HP 932c - Again no Win Me drivers but a couple for Win 98. -- Mike Maltby hepme wrote: It would make life much simpler if I had the disks, but they are not available.

Mike,
No luck on the Lexmark. I have found a driver for the Deskjet; it is for a parallel connection, not applicable for USB, so I will have to rummage around for a good old parallel cable. As long as the printer is back on line, I'll be happy! Thanks for your suggestions.
