Lexmark 2050 Color Jetprinter
(260-2982)        Printer Resolution Problems         Faxback Doc. # 39588

The printer driver diskette which originally was packaged with the Lexmark
2050 Color Jetprinter (260-2982) sometimes will "lose" the ability to print
in 600 X 600 DPI.

SYMPTOM:

When the MEDIA/QUALITY tab is selected with within the PROPERTIES window of
the LexMark printer driver, the following options should appear under
ADDRESSABILITY:

300 x 300 DPI
600 x 600 DPI

If the 600 x 600 DPI does not appear, or is not available, the user should
update their printer driver version.  To insure that this is the problem,
go to the LEXMARK 2050 SERIES CONTROL PROGRAM, which is found in the
LEXMARK 2050 SERIES folder of the START menu.  Click on the ABOUT button.
The older printer driver is version 1.0.0.5.

RESOLUTION:
A new printer driver (version 2.0.1.0) is available for the LexMark 2050
Series printer through the manufacturer.  This driver can be downloaded via
the internet at the LexMark website.  The address is:

http://www.lexmark.com/inotes/drivers/2050.html

The compressed file to download is:

CJ2050WE.EXE.

When expanded, this file will require two 3.5", 1.44 MB diskettes.  We also
do have a copy of this newer driver in the library.

Listed below you will find the README.1ST file for this driver.  It does
include installation instructions.
