Rammjet Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Try this: http://www.downloaddelivery.com/srfilecache/CJMX5100L1.hqx It looks like these drivers are old. You may have to use them under Rosetta. Go into the Utilities folder and find "Printer Setup Utility". Right-click it and select "Get Info" Find the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox and check it.

Rammjet Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I downloaded using 3 browsers. One browser automatically decoded the hqx file. Stuffit and BOMArchive (built into OSX) both gave errors The .hqx (Binhex) file is a Mac encoded file. Need a Mac utility to decode it. Probably a Windows utility, but I'm too lazy to look for it. I took the one decoded file and zipped it: http://rapidshare.de/files/36360826/X5100_...taller.zip.html As I said earlier, these drivers look old. You may have to run Print Center under Rosetta to get them to work (find Printer Setup Utility in Utilities folder, right-click on it, choose Get Info, check the Open using Rosetta checkbox) and even then they may not work. Note to future readers: above link will expire in a short time from this posting date. Try the Lexmark site (like I did and you all should have done) to get the driver.

drself Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I am having a problem with my X5150 Printer and Snow Leopard. I found the driver but it doesn't seem to install. It goes through all the steps, but it is not listed as a driver in the add printer window.
