Crapware, poor products that are made to carry out some task or function very poorly.

This is my hate list, I really despise these products. If you are a manufacturer of these products please contact me how I am failing at using your product.

Right now I am configuring a Lexmark X9575 all in one printer. It’s more like failing at configuring.

This printer requires you to install the Full Lexmark printer driver load (with useless services and features you will never use).

The printer cannot be installed networked, supplying the drivers (have disk), the TCPIP port gets you nowhere.

Printing will hang and will not print.

Installing the “Full Driver Load” will add a new a new printer port “Lexmark 9500 Series”, if you reconfigure your printer to use this new port you will have print support.

If you change to add this port to an existing installed Lexmark x9575, then you will be stuck in the loop of death. You need to configure the port for it to be usable, configuring the port opens a new dialog which allows you to select a printer, refresh  and close. Selecting a printer and closing takes you back to selecting your printer port ….

Oh yeah it’s the same for Windows XP, great feature set Lexmark  (this is sarcasm).

DO NOT BUY LEXMARK x9575 .

If you work for Lexmark or have a reasonable method of fixing Lexmark drivers, contact me.
