Download the driver/software at www.lexmark.com and then connect the printer/copier via the USB or Parrallel cable.  If you have the wrong connection type, get an adaptor at RadioShack.

The problem isn't the printer, the problem is the operating system.   Windows 98 has horrible USB support.  Either update the drivers though the Microsoft website, or put the printer on a LPT  port.

If the printer upstairs is attached to another PC, then go to the Printers folder and make sure that you have 'SHARED' that printer, then you will probably have to install the printer drivers too, it will ask you if it is locally connected or on a network, choose network. the rest is plain sailing.\nOr you can walk upstairs and plug that printer into your usb port, AFTER installing the printer drivers.\nIf the upstairs printer is a networked printer - i.e. NOT attached to a PC, then on installing the printer driver it will again ask you if it is networked, and search for it.

That particular printer connects to the computer by way of a parallell cable. The parallell port on the back of your computer is shaped like the monitor port, but it is longer. Go to Start > Control Panel > Printers. Double-click Add New Printer, or select it from the list on the left side of the screen (in Windows XP). This will start the Add New Printer Wizard. If your printer is not listed (it should be listed if you have Windows XP), or if you have the installation CD for the printer, click Have Disk and install that driver and software.\n\nWhen the installation wizard tells you to, connect the printer to the computer. Then, finish the installation, and you should be ready to print.

Just purchase one USB to LPT convertor cable which is available in the market. That cable has one end USB pin and the other end it has LPT connector. After that connect your scanner using parallel port cable 25-pin female (which are also used for printer sharing switches) . Good luck

You should try going to the HP website and downloading the driver for your particular printer. This will most likely be a .exe file. Of course, if you're using XP and you're connected through a USB port, it should do it on it's own. When in doubt, go to the website for your manufacturer.
