Your problems just might be because Lynn has a Lexmark x75 and you have a
Lexmark 4270 all-in-one printer. The drivers are not the same. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Diane wrote: installing Lexmark all in one. followed response posted for Lynn 8/27/04).

Mike M, I realize it may not be my answer, I tried it because the problem was
similar to the problem Im having. I would still like to know if anyone can figure out why my computer will not recognize my printer.

Diane,
Your initial post talked about problems with oleaut32.dll and nothing whatsoever about your system being unable to see your printer. I pointed you towards the correct driver. Have you installed it? Until you install a printer driver the operating system will never see your printer. Installing a totally inappropriate printer driver is hardly going to help, in fact the complete opposite. The best advice I can give you now is to use system restore to roll back your system to before you started and then download and install the appropriate Win Me driver for your printer. Only when you have done this and installed the drivers should you plug in your printer. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Diane wrote: Mike M, I realize it may not be my answer, I tried it because the problem was similar to the problem Im having.
