Trying to install my Lexmark X215 multi-function printer results in this error message under Vista:
I don’t know the actual cause, as I have 3GB of memory installed, but this workaround works:
- Select “Add New Printer”
- Select “Local Printer” instead of “Add Network Printer”
- Select “Add New Port”
- For the port name, type in the network path to your printer.
ie. \\homeprintbox\lexmark - Click Next, and follow the remaining prompts.
And this is not the only way to resolve the problem. Over at VirtualTechSupport.ca, Simon writes about another way to solve the issue. The printer he was having problems with was a Samsung ML-1710.

I am frankly said I don't like vista. It's very boring
to me. I want to avoid it.
you should be upgrade
Upgrade to what?
I have two options for the type of port, local port and TCP/IP port. It doesn't work for me yet, but maybe you could update the fix with this info. Thanks.
Well you'd be wanting Local first Ed, then you'll be swapping the port to TCP/IP later.
