XP Drivers for Lexmark Z23 Printer Never Fully Load

Hi Everyone:

       I am trying to help a friend get a printer which is connected to a USB hub to work.  Basically, toward the end of the printer driver installation, I get the following error message:   Printer driver was not installed.  The specified print monitor is unknown.  

      Any thoughts or suggestions for correctly adding this printer will be appreciated.  

      Thank you

Hi

      Just as a curious followup of this post, when I went to Manual Install, I had several options to choose from with respect to interface.  For instance, LPT1, LPT2, Serial 1, Serial 2, Virtual Drive to USB.  Which one should be chosen if the printer interfaces with the USB hub?  I believe Virtual Drive to USB but I am not sure.

I believe you need to plug the printer directlky into the computer.  Some devices just won't work through a USB hub.

Hi

       If if would not be too much trouble, could someone provide a link to download the actual software for the printer along with the drivers?

       Thank you

Lexmark is still pretty picky.  Try connecting it directly to the ocmputer before loading the driver.  When you do, be sure to follow the install instructions to the letter.

Hi Everyone:

       The direct download link provided by 3v1lj1m did the trick.  The lexmark printer is working fine now.

       Thank you
