Not if you have a printer install CD.
What exactly happens when you try to install?

Do you have the 95 drivers for your printer ? If not , you may be able to locate them at either the Printer MFG website or at www.driversguide.com

Yes you can save the drivers to disc on your system then take the disc to the other computer and install the drivers through the device manager

Try burning it onto a CD-R and "finalize" or "close session" (whatever terminology your burner software uses).
CD-RW's will not play on all drives (particularly older drives).

It sounds as if it accepted the disk this but maybe it is waiting for you to double click an .exe file or something.
Can you see the files on the CD when you look in Windows Explorer or My Computer?
If so it really depends on what they all are. You might find a readme file somewhere.

That's odd. Usually it's just a plugs and sockets issue or the printer is switched off.
Worth trying a reboot.

Hi,this printer is just not going to work for me, Thank you for all your help, I see on the Lexmark site that the driver for X1180 printer starts from windows 98 ? so maybe the driver I got for 95 is not compatible with this printer, just a thought thanks again, Bob.
