LEXMARK MULTIFUNCTION X7170

[g4yjs]

To all the group good to be a part of the group I hope that like myself you
are all enjoying Vista.
I am using Vista ultimate and am absulutly thrilled with it.
EXEPT Lexmark inform me they have no intention of providing Vista drivers
for the X7170 which is a brilliant machine with great software,I cannot
possibly and dont see why I need to buy a new MFP this one is less than 12
months old just put new cartridges in at over £65.
In old style printers if the required driver was not available it was
posible to use''generic,print only''drivers.
Is anyone aware of a similar faccility for modern printers please,,,,,using
USB connections.
cheers to all Barrie g4yjs.
