An update as of today with hte Lexmark 1270 printer I could not get working.
I tried again and contacted Lexmark support. They have a download availabe
cjr1200EN.exe for 32 bit systems using Vista (that's me) and I think a
download cjs122EN.exe for 64 bit systems. I did everything they suggested and
after quite a long update period the printer is working!.
I did get a couple of worrying messages towards the end "Print Spooler has
been stopped" and "AIOC.exe something or other". Being the eternal optimist I
ignored these and was succesful.
I should add that I had previously used the Oct version of cjr1200EN but
that had not worked. Presumably Lexmark had updated it. Hope this helps. If I
can do it so can you, believe me!
