First of all, don't panic. Secondly, what OS are you trying to install it on? Does it support your computer? What errors messages are you getting? If you have a USB on your computer, surely it will support all USB pharaperals. But you should look atyour OS and the driver you are trying to install if they are compatible. One tip, before you buy anything for your computer, ask the store if you can install it in, give them your computer's specs. They surely know what to give you.

First, enter BIOS setup, and verify that your USB port is enabled.

Then, check device manager, (right click on My Computer, and select properties) and verify that the USB port shows up, and does not have a yellow "!" or "?". If either is present, you need to download and install the driver for the USB port.

If I found your system correctly on IBM's site, it is a Pentium III with Windows Me, and integrated graphics.

It looks like it has an Intel 810 series chipset.

If so, follow this link;
http://developer.intel.com/design/software/drivers/platform/inf.htm

Remove any spaces in the pasted link.

And download the latest INF driver file from Intel.
Read over the release notes, readme file, and manual.
Then, unzip and install the updated drivers.

Next, check Lexmark's web site for any driver updates or FAQs on installing the printer.

If you are using winnt, you are out of luck. Winnt does not support USB. There is a software company out there that does have a USB support program but the name eludes me at the moment. Since it is specialty software it is probably cheaper to upgrade to win2k,
Good luck!
