Can't Install Lexmark 7100 Series Printer
I have Vista and have been trying to add a Lexmark 7100 Series Printer. I get messages 1) Spooler SubSystem App stopped working and was closed and 2) Unable to install printer. The printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT4.0 drivers. Can anyone help?
