Lexmark X73 All-In-One Print Center with USB Cable Review from Stephen M McPherson. nothing but trouble, If you are running any Windows Format other than XP you will want to ditch the installation disks, and go straight to Lexmark’s website for Windows Version-specific drivers/instructions for your computer, or you will have problems with the installation. I had difficulty like about half of the other users with initial installation . . . I am running Windows 98, and something that the CD’s have for Windows XP screwed up my computer for a couple of days. The drivers were XP ready and would not cooperate with a 98 format download. I went to the website for Lexmark and downloaded a “98″ driver specifically for my unit and installed according to the new instructions. I also had to re-load Windows 98 and the drivers for the USB ports provided with CD for my computer motherboard. All in all, the insallation was a real PAIN . . . BUT . . . the unit’s performance is OUTSTANDING–the BEST quality scanner I have EVER used. It is extremely FAST, very easy to use once you finally get it formatted for Windows 98. The printing quality is among the sharpest I have ever seen for a personal computer, and I have found it to be a piece of cake to operate since buying it. If I were to rate this unit based solely upon the ease of installation, I would give it 1-ZERO stars . . . installation was difficult, to say the least, but in performance, I would rate the unit a 5+ Stars for its outstanding features/ease of use/speed/quality of print, etc . . . I purchased the unit for it’s performance . . . I viewed installation as merely a means to get the performance I desire . . . so my overall rating is on performance/quality ONLY–not installation. Despite the problems/difficulty I had with the installation, this product IS worth the money and the time to figure out how to properly configure it for your computer–after all, it is less than half the cost of other multifunction units with equal features. HOWEVER, you should not purchase this unit unless:
1) You are skilled at hardware/software installation, or,
2) You are running Windows XP–from reading other reviews, XP users seem to have an easy time of it!
