Add a printer doesn't work.

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

Ok, i downloaded the CJ2012SE driver from the Lexmark website. I unzip
it to a folder. I look at the readme file and says Lexmark System
Driver
Date: August 7, 2001

Please close all applications before installing the driver.

This driver can only be installed through the Windows Add Printer
Wizard.
Click UNZIP on the next screen to extract the driver files.

Choose OK to continue with the Self-Extraction Program...

The problem is that I can't enter the Windows Add Printer Wizard. The
add printer button still doesn't work, so in order to install this
driver it seems like i have to get that button working.
