I have 2 of these Dell printers, and I want to use them on
my home system, not just the business laptop I purchased.
Dell says that they don't choose to support Win98.

I have tried downloading the Lexmark 6170 driver, but that
won't install. Any ideas? Thanks

That is absolutely correct. They will ONLY work on Windows 2000 and Windows
XP systems.

Either return them and get something that will work on your Windows98
system, or upgrade your operating systems to XP. It does clearly state on
the Dell website that the printers are NOT compatible with NT, 9x or ME
operating systems.

Hi Linda

I found your post while trying to find the same answer, as you are
probably aware the dell A960 is a Lexmark and I found this on their site.
I have not tried them yet but give them a go.

good luck

Marc
