Saw one in the store yesterday --- some poor fool had bought it from a "private party' and didn't even get the unique USB cable it has...
never was a very good printer but it does look like that

I know, the size of the texture was small and i couldnt change it, it was 128x128, and i had to make that a texture.

You can make the texture file bigger....simply make a bigger one (e.g. 256 x256...then, in SimPe, right click on the texture file and choose "Build DTX" ...then select your new texture... then update all sizes and save...you're done!

p.s. ... Nice mesh!!

you need to download and install the DDS Utilities friom NVidia.....which you can get HERE

(You may have to tell SimPE where it is installed on your machine)

I used to have a Lexmark Z54, which looks very similar. Thing I hated about it was the fact that its driver/control software takes over the print spooler (i.e. service won't run w/o the troublesome lexpps.exe & lexbces.exe files). These files are for the "share" system for using the printer over a network. Now if I'm using the printer only on a stand-alone box? And it raised eyebrows when my firewall reported that the Lexmark "lex" files were requesting access to the Internet. But anyhow, had to get that off my chest; nice mesh though.
