I remember reading a book about the introduction of FM Stereo in North America and how solution like emitting two channels on two separate bands were judged bad because non-stereo radios already in service would get just a portion of the programming. I wish there was still a desire from the government to fight this kind of planned obsolescence. I have a first generation IPad and it works perfectly but Apple stopped to make updates to the OS and now, it's getting more and more useless. I hate how things that work perfectly have to be replaced for reasons like that. It just goes against my 'beliefs' about unnecessary product replacement, but I feel like I am beat on this one!
Has anyone else been able to work around this? I'm losing patience but I really hate like hell to scrap a printer that has otherwise been decent but the cost of a new el-cheapo-deluxe printer at the local Wal-Mart is pretty low. I might as well be searching for a new Q4688 Westinghouse Laundromat boot. Lexmark's support pages are largely useless - the 7300 series seems to have vanished from their databases.
#Lexmark 2300 series all in one software drivers#
I've searched for a driver that would be Windows 8 compatible I've found several 'free' ones that download a product called 'driver detective' that will offer to update as many drivers as you want as long as you subscribe to their service. It darn near drove me crazy until it finally dawned on me that the printer was probably meant for XP and we all know what happened that OS. However, last December the printer was suddenly unusable. Believe me, with two properties on the market, it's been damned handy to have!! I have a fairly old Lexmark 7300 series printer/scanner/fax that I keep down in Ogden, just in case.
