driver tweakers

Isn't there anyone who can tweak the a940 drivers to work with 98? not necessarily the whole package, just the printing aspect.

or what about making the lexmark drivers work with the 940.

    You cannot tweak a940 drivers in Windows 98. a940 drivers can only be used in Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems as I read from Dell website.  It has to be "All-in-one" so it will be a software package. You can install the whole software package for the a940 printer.

    oh, i think they CAN be tweaked. After all, the exact same printer WILL work in 98 if you buy it under the Lexmark name. The printer is CAPABLE of working with 98. Someone just needs to add 98 functionality to the Dell drivers. OR, make the Lexmark drivers.......work with the Dell!

    Let me know how you do. I bought the A940 to use with my new 2350 and it's a great printer for the price. But I would like to share it to the win95 machines on my home network and retire my aging hp deskjet 692c

    I just purchased the A940 and I need to know if there is anyway to make it work with Windows 98.  It works great with my laptop which has Windows XP, but my home compute still has Windows 98.  Can anyone help me?
