    You didn't click 'open from this location' or whatever when you selected it to download? Click the download button again and click 'save to disk' if that's whats happened...

    yeah prob does.

    try right clicking on the file and goto unzip to.....(folder name..) or wherever u want..

    then insude theres probably a file called Setup.exe

    Run this!

    Apologies for being a pain in the arse.

    I recieve the file, double click on it, it brings up that box talking about zip files so initially i clicked on unzip (not knowing what it would do) & it did nowt, so i clicked on browse and opened it in a new folder, it then brought up 7 different boxes named as follows:

    fre

    prebuilt

    lxblsdrv (security info)

    lxblsdrv (setup info)

    lxblsdrv (configuration settings)

    lxblsdrv.gpd

    lxblsdrv .gpd

    :cry: :confused:

    Aaaahhhh - sneaky. It doesnt have a setup program!

    Right what u need to do mate:

    Goto start menu
    Goto control Panel
    Goto Printers & faxes
    Click Add a printer
    Click next
    Click next again

    See if that finds the suitable drive for you.

    If not do the same again but not the last step...

    Untick automatically detect and install plug and play printer...

    CLick next a few times, goto have disk - point it at the location you extracted files to..

    Try that!
