• It turns out that the Dell 720 will also install on WindowsME using the same process as below.

These Dell 720 printers only ship with Windows 2000 and XP drivers, which is fine for most systems, but because these printers are so cheap they are ideal for use with older computers such as laptops, etc. The instructions below outline how to get your Dell 720 printer working with Win98SE by using the drivers designed for the Lexmark Z605.

Bear in mind:

• The Lexmark drivers are compatible with the Dell 720 because they seem to be identical printers, but the "Lexmark Solution Centre" software that is also installed does not support the Dell. This means that the advanced features such as print alignment, head cleaning and ink-level reporting are not available.
• The print monitor still works.
• You can still set the printer settings through the Lexmark driver, such as print quality, duplex printing, etc.

Follow these instructions carefully. The printer should remain OFF at all times. As long as the power cable is connected to the wall, the computer will detect the printer when the USB cable is connected.

To start with, ensure that:

• The printer is connected to the mains but is turned OFF
• Windows is loaded.
• The USB cable is connected to the printer, but is NOT connected to the computer.
• You have downloaded the LEXMARK PRINTER DRIVER, and the edited files.

Run the file you downloaded from the Lexmark site (CJ9X600LE.exe). Select to extract the files to C:\LXKZ600, and untick the box marked "When done unzipping open...". Click UNZIP.

Extract the edited driver files (EditedDrivers.rar) to your desktop. Copy the two files to C:\LXKZ600 (you will be asked if you want to overwrite any files - Click YES). Do not delete (or MOVE) the extracted files from your desktop, as you will need them later

Hi my computer died, I have replaced it with a reconditioned one. I have a Lexmark Z206 and I have lost the installation disc I was wondering whether the above instructions could be followed for the Z605 on Widows XP?

I have gone onto the Lexmark website and found

Hi my computer died, I have bought a recon one. I have a LExmark Z605 printer and Windows XP I have lost the installation disc for the printer. Will the above instructions work for me? I have been on the Lexmark webste but couldn't find the first download you have given the link to for my printer. (I am a bit of a technophobe) I would be most grateful if you could help me.:D
