Is lexmark X125 compatible with Windows 7

Hello,
Is LexMark X125 compatible with Windows 7?

No. But if your hardware meets the requirements, you can download XP compatibility mode, and use the XP driver.

Check the Lexmark website for Windows 7 or Vista drivers. If you don't find any, you have your answer.

Windows XP Mode is for running legacy software, not hardware, that does not work under Windows 7.

I could be wrong on this one. I haven't personally tried this yet. From what I've read, I thought you could run the driver in XP mode. Wouldn't that then enable communication with the printer?

Windows XP Mode is essentially a standalone virtual machine... just like other solutions such as VMware Workstation. The only difference is the level of surface integration with Windows 7. Deeper down though, it's still a sandboxed environment. If virtual machine solutions allowed things like driver integration with the host, you create the potential for some serious security issues.
