My lexmark 3200 works perfectly in windows 2000 thanks to the hack and tweak. I'm still pissed at lexmark for not releasing drivers while others did.

On monday, march 6th, lexmark announced the release of win/2000 drivers for their high end laser printers being sold from their business division, with no mention at all of drivers for their inkjet printers, by the way, I tried the hack & tweak on my Z51 paperweight, and it's still a paperweight, I followed the posting to the letter, with no results........

Hi,
 
I would imagine that you have to modify the fix for it to work with the Zxx printers. So instead of using:
 
"Lexmark 3200 Series ColorFine" = "Lexmark 3200 Series ColorFine (MS)" , "08/04/1998"
 
You should try replacing the stuff about 3200 with info concerning your specific printer driver. I would think that it's very unlikely that the 3200 fix would work with the Z11. Z31 or Z51 are a different matter since at least they use two cartridges (don't they?)
 
Dont give up!
 
PS:For anyone having trouble with dates of drivers, remember that the Lexmark website uses a different date format than the fix. So if the date on the Lexmark website is "04/08/98", then in the fix you have to use "08/04/1998". (just a reminder, because that's where I went wrong originally )

Thanks for the suggestions, gave it a try, and still no joy, anyone else having any success with their Z51? I bought a HP, so I'm not hurting at all, just curious........

Lexmark 5700 printer working just fine on Win2k server. Using the NT 4 drivers supplied by Lexmark and installed by running setup.exe as someone mentioned here earlier. Didn't have to do any sort of hack or whatnot.

I have another machine with Windows 2000 and I tried installing the lexmark 3200 drivers (hacked) and after it installed the driver, it said "Could not add printer because The print subsystem is unavailible.
 
Does anyone know whats wrong?

Try this:
 
Delete every file under /WINNT/System32/spool/drivers/w32x86, and also every file under \WINNT\system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86. For some reason after I did this (and rebooted as far as I can remember) the setup program ran just fine! (without the spoolsv error or the "..subsystem unavailable" error). If Windows doesn't allow you delete some of the files, try and reboot, that helped in my case. You have to delete every file. Someone also told me that I should've deleted every lexmark entry in the registry. I didn't do that and everything worked just fine.
