    1- Does anyone know where I can find and download free true type fonts?
    I am looking for

    lucida handwriting, gweek, Janie, and baabook fonts.

    2- does anyone know how to connect my Lexmark 4530 printer to a new lap top? I have tried everything I know of and I can't find my disk either.


    Thanks!!

    Here is a site to hook up your printer to your computer:

    without your disk..
    Hope this helps you.

    There is a web site where you can ask your questions - thru your seach engine "Google" or
    whatever you use, just
    start with "how do I" - then your question....

    Have you tried to "Google" true type fonts or get them other searches?

    Most printers today don't need disks. Go to the Lexmark site and look for their download section. It will usually ask for your model and will tell you if it has the newest drivers for your printer. Even if you found your disk it would probably be out of date. Downloading from the site gives you the most current. I did this with my new MacBook Air laptop and easily downloaded the drivers for the printer. I also discovered that Apple.com also downloads printer drivers to Mac so I didn't even need to go out to the printer manufacturer.

    Don't know about the fonts, but you should be able to download the drivers from Lexmark

    I haven't read all nine pages of replies, so someone else may have mentioned this. I think you can just go to the Lexmark website and download the drivers from there.

    I have no knowledge of font sources, but a search should solve that.
