Lexmark printer driver download
After downloading a upgraded driver for a Lexmark EcecJet IIc 4076 it tells me to unpack and then run the RUNME.BAT
program to create a "setup diskette". Maybe if you look at
the Lexmark update page you will know what I'm talking about. I don't know how to do what they are trying to tell
me to do. Can you explain it in terms that I may understand. They don't give any help as how to accomplish the set-up disk creation. I need a little help. Thanks for any help. I'm no expert!! Jim

You're right that's why I posted all the file names for him to double check where he got that Runme.bat file

Hi Jim!
I suspect that you have one of the following two files, not the one Magigraf pointed out above:
4076CDD1.EXE or 76DSXXDE.EXE
4076CDD!.EXE is drivers disk version 4.02
76DSXXDE.EXE is the drivers setup disk file
and the file that Mag noted is the PCL driver for 3.1/3.11 and/or Windows 95.
Was the file you downloaded something you went searching for or something that Lexmark support suggested you download?

I haven't done anything with your answers yet. Dew asked where
I got the RUNME.BAT from. It came from Lexmark at: http://drivers.lexmark.com/drivers.nsf/pr...E1A4A8C2C885852560
EA005F02A0?Open Document. This came from Lexmark Software Repository. To the right of the File Name 76DSXXDE.EXE it has a discription and that is where I got that I had to run the RUNNME.BAT program. Maybe if you look at that URL you will find what I did. Will that change the answers you sent? The drivers I downloaded were 76DSXXDE.EXE and 4076CDDI.EXE and this discription (instructions) applied to both. What should I do?
Seems like things should be a little easier. Self extracting
is new to me. The way it sounds to me is I need to make a floppy
or two in order to install the update drivers. Am I right.?
Thanks for the help and I will wait for you to find the URL and
read what I did about RUNME.BAT. Thanks again, Jim
PS: The file mentioned by Magigraf and Eban was not looked at.
I already have the printer installed but was just trying to update the drivers. The driver version I have In is 3.10 on a
Lexmark 4076 Color Fine. This printer also shows up as a
IBM ExecJet IIc but it will not work with the drivers I have installed. I cannot get it to print a test page if this printer is selected. I can only use it when Lexmark 4076 Color Fine is selected. I have three floppies with the printer:
1. Lexmark ExecJet IIc Color Fine Windows Driver
2. " "Driver Disk 1 (Win & DOS)
3. " "Program Dsk (Setup & Toolkit)
Maybe I should start from scratch??? Thanks

Jim: Since you have downloaded the file that Magigraf notes above, put it into a clean folder on your hard drive with nothing else in it. Once downloaded, then use either Find Files and Folders or Windows Explorer to locate the file and then click on it and it will extract itself into several smaller files. Transfer these smaller files to a floppy.
Next, click the My Computer icon and then click the Printers folder. Click once on your printers icon to highlight it and then "Right" click on it to open the details. Click on Properties, then click the Details Tab at the top and then click the New Driver button. Follow the instructions to load the driver.
Since you accepted Magigraf's proposed answer and then asked me the questions, I'm not sure who you were allocating the points on this question to. If they were intended for Magigraf, than no change is necessary. If they were intended for me, then you will need to email Linda@experts-exchange.com

Sorry for not being able to comme sooner than that. I don't know if you heard the new but in Montreal Canada where I live we have been without electricity for the past 72 hours (Freezing rain iced evrything). It was a nightmare for my business too.
Anyway, the file I mentioned up there is the CORRECT file for your printer, you should install it safely as I gave you the instructions.
If you have more questions please do ask.

magigraf, sorry to hear about the bad weather. Its snowing and
blowing here today. I have not downloaded the driver you mentioned above. I mentioned the 2 I did download and told you
guys where I found that "RUNME" at. Maybe that is not required for that driver. I guess if you read my last message as to what I have downloaded, you could tell me if I even need them 2 or should I just use the 1 you mentioned. This seems to be getting a little bit out of whack and I still don't seem to have a very
good answer as to which drivers or how to install with that
"RUNME" file. Maybe we should start all over. Hope you get warm and the lights stay on. Still ned the help about what drivers to install. Snow and cold in ILL. Thanks, Jim

Thanks for your cheerful words, they have just declare a state of emergency in Montreal Canada. Called in the Army forces, engineers from the States to help.
Any way let's get down to business WHILE I CAN...???
Yes use only the files i Asked you to download.
Follow the instructions I posted or open the readme file and do exactly as they say.
This should do it. Forget the runme file for now.
Thanks for being patient with me here.
I have lost many days in my business and my loyalty to the EE site.
I hope to be able to catch up.
Let me know how did it go, if you need more help just ask don't worry. I want to make sure you are up and running fine.

magigraf, Hope this finds you in better shape than last time. I
thought I'd leave you alone so you could get your things back in
shape and take a little break. I have a disk with the files you mentioned except for a couple of them. The 2 Licence and the 1 OEM files are not on my disk. Are they really needed? I am using the Drive disk 1 as mentioned way up the page. If I use the ExecJet IIc, it loads as another printer but will not work as
such when set to default. The Tool kit disk I loaded, but don't
know what it is all about. It is loaded to DOS and I hate any part of that. So I guess I will just stay where I'm at with the
1.1.6 as 4076 ColorFine unless you think any of the other drivers
would have any benefit. I guess we can close this matter and worry about other problems. If you agree, thanks for the help
and hope you are back in full swing. I know you all had a real tough time of it for awhile but the Lord works in mysterious ways. He has the "big plan" for us all. Thanks and God bless, Jim

magig: I have 3 disk with the printer. The one we are talking about has a driver name of (lxlxej.drv), the version is 3.10 and it loads under the Printer Name (Lexmark 4076 ColorFine). The disk I have from the company has all the files you mentioned earlier in this transaction EXCEPT these 3: LICENSE.TXT (End user agreement), AVEXTRA.TXT (License agreement Pop-up), OEMSETUP.INF (Windows setup file). I got this information when I ran the "print test page" Do I need these 3 files? If I do, I will have to make a disk in order to get them. I also received 2 other disks, 1 for a tool-kit setup(DOS) and 1 for ExecJetIIc.
The ExecJetIIc will load as a printer but the printer will not work when this printer is set as default. The instructions I have are not clear as to which disks I should use but the 1 for
the Lexmark 4076 ColorFine seems to get the job done. I guess the only question is, do I need the 3 file for the 4076 ColorFine and if I had them what would I gain?? Some of the versions on the factory disk files are: (2ea) 1.1.6 (lxlxej.drv and lxlxejln.dll), (1ea) 2.1 (swctrl.dll), (5ea)1.1.1 (lxsplmgr.exe, lxdspl.exe, lxraster.dll, lxjnllib.dll, lxrsrc.dll and the other 2 have no ver. # (2ea) lximage.bmp and
lxhelp.hlp). There is a total of 10 files listed. I don't have the 3 mentioned earlier. What do ya think? Keep what I have or download the driver as you did to get the other 3 files? What would I gain? This has gone so long it's hard to keep track. See what you think and let me know when you get a chance. It works like it is, so if there is nothing to gain we can consider
the matter closed. Once again, thanks and the best of luck to you and yours. Take care, Jim

As you said the 3 files (2 of them are text, the third is an INF)
In my humble opinion you don't need them at ALL.
An Inf is like a batch file in dos, to tell windows what configuration need to be set and what line to add, and so on.
There is NO GAIN with these 3 files as the most important drivers are already installed with the files I sent you to get from their site.
As far as DOS is concerned, you SHOULDN'T install the disk you received. Install it ONLY if you need any DOS programs to use that printer, or else refrain from doing so.
Color guide is an add on utility to enhance your printer I guess. I use mostly Hewlett Packard ptrinter which have the color smart built in their drivers.
If you think you need it yes, no problem here, again make sure you have the latest version, as the definition in the drivers sometimes gets updated.
Let me know, it fou need more info.

magigraf: Thanks for the info. I will do just what you said. The
only thing is, I already installed the DOS disk. What does it take to remove it or doesen't it make any difference? If it should be removed, let me know and I will need help getting it out because I don't know anything about DOS. Will removing the printer and then reinstall get the job done? Thanks, Jim

It's O.K. just don't bother with it.
The dos printer directory will stay there, it's not taking much of hard disk space (approx. max 1.2Mg), so just forget it's there.
Removing the printer drivers will NOT TAKE the dos drivers out.
Take care, and remember, I'm always here to help.
