On that (
http://support.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/knowledgebase.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:547:...&framed
) KB Lexmark page there are a few differences in the situation.
The model of printer is not included, but they offer a comment
indicating that may not be necessary.
On my system, the files
Lxdaw2k.inf setup information
Lxdaw2k.ini configuration settings
Are located in C:\Lexmark\lxk640\drivers\WIN_XP2K
Which is not exactly where the page says they would be.
There is no step identified as 6 through 10, but I assume they mean
void out the LanguageMonitor= lines.
There is only one instance instead of 2 of the string,
languageMonitor=
Anyway, lets see how it goes...
Well, when I use the add printer wizard, there never is an option to
"browse" so I can use the modified inf file. I proceeded with the
installation anyway, and it had the same result. The printer doesn't
install; the icon for the printer doesn't appear; the same message
appears, may not work properly the language monitor is unknown.
The question now is how do I invoke this browse option?
I'm going to send this, reboot, and try again.
