I have a Lexmark Z53 printer that I hooked up to my system
after doing a clean install of Windows XP. Windows saw the
hardware device and downloaded / installed the driver for
it. Unfortunately Windows installed only the basic driver,
and to install the full Lexmark version, Lexmark indicates
the basic version must first be uninstalled. I cannot
figure out where / how to get at the basic driver
currently in use to uninstall it. Lexmark hasn't been too
helpful either. It is not accessible through Add Remove
Programs, or Device Manager, or Start > Programs, or
Printers > Z53 > Properties. The Printers > Z53 >
Properties approach does have a means to "update" the
driver, but that doesn't quite jibe with Lexmark's
instructions for "replacing" the driver. The full version
driver provides better print quality and some additional
functionality. I'd really like appreciate any help in
figuring this out. Thanks.
