"AL Smith, you are an idiot, calm down. If you have used this printer over a network or have insatlled xp as an upgrade from 9x and find this download does not work, do the following, go to C \WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\2 and rename all the *.dll files to *._ll or similar, ie ssgk2.dll to ssgk2._ll after you have done this, run this driver, and you will find it w

"OK, To cure the new hardware problem at XP startup, download the ML1210 driver and install it. When XP starts and wants software for your ML4500, go to the printers list and use the recently installed 1210 driver which will be at the bottom of the list, use this one, windows will complain but make it use it anyway. Restart and the problem will be cured, now install the ML4

Have also tried the Lexmark E210 solution but here too I have failed to fix the problem. Have downloaded a variety of "XP" drivers for this ML4500 printer and discovered that all have the same files contained in them when extracted,
