I have Win98SE and couldn't get the Z51 to work with USB.
Went over everything with Lexmark support and he said it
was Dell's problem. Dell didn't think it was their problem.
The printer is recognized on USB but it can't communicate.
I got a parallel cable and it works ok. Disappointing that
USB didn't work. I don't think much of Lexmark dirvers.
