Please help - my dad just bought a printer that of course the installation cd says is incompatible with his windows95. Anyone know where I can get a driver to make it work anyway?

But having said that Lexmark doesn't make DOS Drivers any more and no longer supports this type of OS. It's one of the problems with buying from this maker they offer very limited Driver Support.

If you look at Lexmark's Driver Site they only support Windows 2000 onward and Apple OSX with nothing prior to that or for any other OS type. You can try some of the old 98 Inkjet Drivers for something like a Canon BJC210 which may work but realistically he should return it and buy something that has drivers and is cheaper to use to print a page of anything. These Lexmark Printers are very expensive to print anything but text as they have a Color Cartridge that needs replacing when 1 color runs out. Just like any Color Printer with 1 Color Cartridge they should be avoided as they cost way too much to print with. You may have some joy with some old IBM Color Inkjet drivers as well because IBM where the original producers of Lexmark before they sold off that side of the business about 6 or 7 years ago.
