After format I have lost my printer. I inserted lexmark install disk and chose install. I recieved a"insufficient memory" error. I have 256 RAM and a ton of hard drive space. I haven't changed my cache settings and have no idea why this program won't install. Contacted Lexmark and was told it was a windows problem but can't figure it out. I have installed all other program disks with no problem.This printer (lexmark Z22) is not USB. I have tried shutting down all running processes with and without printer connected.I even tried in safe mode, again with and without cable. Lexmark support told me it was a Windows problem without even listening to me about trying all the system fixes provided.

First, see if add new hardware detects the presence of the printer. Second, when you insert the printer CD, do not install. Go to Control Panel, first select add new programs, then navigate to the CD and install, or from within Control Panel, add Printer, select have disk.

It turns out the printer CD is only compatable with Windows 95/98. Updated driver can't install because it has no printer application to install to. "Catch 22" Printer worked before reformat because application was installed and excepted new driver.

Have you tried to download the latest driver from the Lexmark site? It asks for your printer and then your OS, and then directs you to the specific driver you need.
