Go to the Lexmark website and look for Vista drivers.
If unavailable, complain to Lexmark.

Go to Start>>>Computer>>> See if your computer can recognize the printer. If it can't then it's because of one or two problems.
1. The printer is old and the software is not a new enough version for Windows Vista to work it.
2. If your computer can detect it on your computer then this means your using a High-Speed Hub on a Non-Hub USB port. Which will 'cause the program not to work. You need to connect it to a High-Speed Hub USB port, which means just try another USB port until it works. Sometimes this will work and most times it wont.
You need to by a 2.0 USB port from a local store like Walmart or Stapels. If you have a laptop then your going to need a internal one and if it's desktop then your going to need a external one.
Hope this helps!
