Firstly, buying a Lexmark was a very, very, very stupid thing to do. Canon
and Epson make far better MFDs.

It's a fairly ancient model as I cannot find any mention of it anywhere -
not even on Lexmark's site. I found one on eBay for £30 - that's less than
the price of a colour cartridge! Anyway, why are you looking on the Windows
CD and not downloading the latest driver from Lexmark?! They do, at least,
have a driver for it.

Why would lia and josh be looking on the Windows CD for it? Because perhaps
it should be there somewhere?

Company: Microsoft Corporation
File Version: 5.1.2600.0 (XPClient.010817-1148)
Internal Name: WIAFBDRV
Language: English (United States)
Original File Name: WIAFBDRV.DLL
Product name: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
Product Version: 5.1.2600.0

Similar for usbscan.sys. On my system after I loaded XP.

Also, why should you think an X1155 is "fairly ancient"?? I have an X1150
purchased new in February this year and a splendid job it does too. I'm sure
lia and josh neither want nor need your opinion on their/her/his choice of
printer. Try to offer helpful advice FOR ONCE and leave the insults out!

To lia and josh, sorry I can't be of more help to you, AFAIK, those files
should be somewhere on your system (unless there's a difference between Home
and Pro) Doing a search, I found wiafbdrv.dll in system32 and usbscan.sys
in a number of folders. You have my sympathies in that what appears to be
your first post had to be answered by Headmistress Tick. We're not all like
that - honest!
