Frustrating. Your computer tells you to update your drivers to use the printer and then doesn't support it anyway.
Seems like your printer won't work with win98.
Go to the Printers site (you didn't say who that was) and see if they have anything about using it with Win98.

properly, at first, i might have in no way offered a Lexmark printer. undesirable help and expensive ink exchange are purely 2 the rationalization why. in spite of the undeniable fact that, uninstall this technique completly. Use the upload/get rid of checklist, then after rebooting, head into your C: force and delete the empty folder for Lexmark. Then use the Printer and Faxes link interior the administration Panel to function it back and spot if this works. do not permit the CD purely run from the Lexmark set up wizard, as your laptop won't comprehend this technique. If that may not artwork, flow to the residences tab from My laptop, elect the Hardware tab, then the gadget supervisor. in this checklist, elect the printer and click on it to open the residences container. try utilizing the improve driving force tab with the CD interior the drawer.

So you are trying to install a new printer that is not compatible with win 98 on your computer that has win 98 as it's OS? You may need to update your OS.

sounds like you have Win98 which is no longer supported. Time to either upgrade the OS or get a new PC....
I woul drecommend getting a new PC.
Third option is to find an older printer which is capable of being used on Win98
