Windows Vista Lexmark X5270 Will it Work?

Jun 29, 2007 4:37PM PDT

1) Attempted to connect Lexmark X5270 to Vista Home Premium by running the original Lexmark disc. 2) Didn't perform. 3)Went to Lexmark site where the specific driver was available. 4) Could not install this driver due to an inablility to completely uninstall the prior version. 5) The program would not readily appear to uninstall. Had to search and delete. This did nothing as well as clicking the icon to delete did nothing. I've been tinkering with this for over two hours. My skill level is approaching moderate, as it is necessary to acquire a substantial vocabulary to do anything with this system. Please help!!!! I need to print tonight.
