Guest pixturesk@gmail.com Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I am currently using a Canon BJC 1000 Inkjet Printer on a Win98SE computer but recently got a Lexmark P915 Photo printer, want to try it out. Shall I first completely uninstall the Canon, including physically disconnecting it from the computer before performing a complete new install of the Lexmark. Thanks.

IF you no longer intend to use the Canon then yes, un-install. However, you can have more than one printer installed. According to the specs Lexmark P915 : Operating Systems Supported Microsoft Windows 2000 Microsoft Windows XP Apple Mac OS X (10.2.3-10.2.8) Apple Mac OS X (10.3.0-10.3.x) Microsoft Windows Vista USB 2.0 Specification Hi-Speed Certified I find no 98 drivers, unless they might have been included on the CDROM or somewhere. -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com -- _________
Guest Dan Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Re: Installing a New Printer in Win98SE MEB, the poster could try a Windows 2000 driver(s) since that worked for my HP printer because HP removed the 98 drivers from their website and I did not want to use an unofficial driver. However, it would be easier to just buy a printer that supports 98(SE).

The Lexmark P915 (circa 2004/2005) completely supports Win98SE, that's why I got it because all the new printers support XP, Vista. The 98SE system requirements are on the box, as well as, the large install sheet + the software itself. I got this printer, new, cheap, at a garage sale, the owner never even unpacked either the printer or the cartridges. Got to get extra 98SE gear, when available.

Even though, there is no support for the Lexmark P915 on their website + even though I got it from a garage sale, not a Lexmark seller, their 1-800 support number is very helpful, they will answer questions, it appears, to anyone that calls in, at lease that is my experience.

According to this page ... http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/232031/lexmark-p915-printer-driver-v1.0.14-windows-98-me-free-download.html .... this is your file: ftp://ftp.lexmark.com/driver/inkjet_drivers/910%20Series/cjG910EN.exe Lexmark P915 Printer Driver v1.0.14 Windows 98/ME >> Driver Brief >> Version: v1.0.14 Release: 20 Oct 2004 Update: 6 Dec 2005 License: Free Driver File Name: cjG910EN.exe File Size: 40.14 Mb Environment: Windows 98/ME Searching for a Win2K/XP driver on Lexmark's site directs you to Version 1.0.14 of cjB910EN.exe, so the above info looks correct. Here is the Win2K/XP driver on the FTP site: ftp://ftp.lexmark.com/driver/inkjet_drivers/910%20Series/cjB910EN.exe This looks like a firmware update page: ftp://ftp.lexmark.com/driver/inkjet_drivers/910%20Series/Firmware/Win_9x/ This is possibly the English version of your update: ftp://ftp.lexmark.com/driver/inkjet_drivers/910%20Series/Firmware/Win_9x/FW1GP915EN.exe I'd do some research before deciding to apply it, though. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

Thanks Franc, but if you check my message above, the Lexmark P915 supports Win98SE. I have the correct drivers on my installation cd. Being a legacy printer, the P915 is one of the few left that is compatible with 98SE.
