Install Lexmark Printer Driver

I'm getting the same issues as many others, with not being able to print after a recent Windows 10 upgrade. I'm using a Lexmark X4650.

Driver

I am still able to print on the same printer with a Window XP laptop no problem, but nothing now with Windows 10 Wired or Wireless (when I could print a couple of weeks ago).

This installation path is the most common since Windows 10 will include many current Lexmark printer drivers. Moreover, drivers not currently available in the operating system's driver store will be made available via Windows Update. Download Lexmark Printer Drivers Updates. Driver updates will resolve driver conflict issues with all devices and can greatly the performance of your PC. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Downloading the latest Driver releases helps resolve driver conflicts and improve your computer’s stability and performance. Updates are recommended for all Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 users.

I've tried removing the printer and re-installing using Windows 8 drivers, then following all the troubleshooting, and still noting.

As with others if the ink levels in printer properties are showing question marks this is a good indicator it is not going to work. However when going via Control Panel 'View network computers and devices', right clicking on the printer and 'View Device on Webpage' it does show the ink levels, so the printer is clearly linked to the network, as it does also show up via Word etc when trying to print documents.

Interestingly I could scan from the printer, but only when wired and via the 'Device and Printers' Control Panel, and using right mouse clicking on the printer. But even wired I can not print using this printer!?

For this printer on the Lexmark support page:

Lexmark Printer Drivers For Windows 10

http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=EN&page=content&userlocale=EN_US&id=OS28

It quotes: 'These products were developed before Lexmark had knowledge of the re-designed Windows 10 printing system, but will support basic printing features. Microsoft may choose, at its own discretion, to completely discontinue printing support for these products in future Windows 10 operating system updates.'

It appears the compatibility of these printers is now at Microsoft discretion? Have Microsoft decided on the latest Windows 10 release to stop supporting this device now does anyone know? This is poor if they have, and needs to be communicated.

Also does anyone know why when removing and reinstalling the device, we now get not only the Lexmark 3600-4600 printer but something called 'ET0020003F4D20' too? Is this linked to this problem?

Surely there is a setting somewhere that can be changed (via a Microsoft update, or manually) that will allow printing from a printer that is clearly linked, networked, wired or wireless (and used to work on windows 10)??
