Post# 822475, Reply# 6 at 16:41 (2,717 days old) by LordKenmore (The Laundry Room) The toner cartridges in my new Brother printer are lasting a long time. It can't handle tabloid-sized sheets, but if I really need something oversized to be printed, I just go to my nearby Fedex Office and have it done there.Īnd it is nice no longer having to deal with the overpriced inkjet cartridges, which seem to dry out in 30 days after installing one. Since I had to replace another printer anyway during my last OS upgrade, I went with a Brother color laser printer, which I like a lot. I had two wide-format inkjet printers (they could handle tabloid-sized sheets of paper) that got scrapped that way one an HP and the other a Canon. Staples will accept old office machines for recycling, so at least it beats sending it to a landfill. #Lexmark 2300 series driver update#Why spend money to update a printer driver for your old printer, on which they make no money, when they can force you to buy a new one? Even though it seems ridiculous to throw away a perfectly good printer, I'm sure they do this on purpose. I guess they had other concerns when they did that but I like the idea of not making things already in service obsolete because of a change of technology. Some Japanese radios were already designed like that with simultaneous reception of two channels but the FCC decided to approve FM signal multiplexing so the two stereo tracks would be emitted on the same frequency and a radio equipped with a multiplexer could separate both and a radio not designed for stereo reception would play the content of both tracks. 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 driver 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'd especially like to know if you have any other problems once the new driver is installed.I have a fairly old Lexmark 7300 series printer/scanner/fax that I keep down in Ogden, just in case. Good luck with this please let us know how things turn out for you, Ms Peel. #Lexmark 2300 series driver install#That driver is a whopping 35MB, so expect a fairly long download time, unless you're using broadband.ĭO NOT FORGET to UNINSTALL the OLD driver, then REBOOT your system BEFORE you try to install the new Lexmark driver. #Lexmark 2300 series driver pro#It seems that the Lexmark 2310, 2330, and 2350 all-in-one printers ALL use the same driver, which you can download for WinXP Pro here: The Drivers and Downloads main page is here: This problem can be caused by an outdated (or corrupted) driver, so I checked the Lexmark website: Sorry about the delay in replying to this I found it halfway down the fourth page, still waiting for an answer. ![]()
