Lexmark x75 all-in-one printer. HELP!

Hyper_Kagome · 08-08-2007, 03:21 AM

Okay. So I've always hated my Lexmark ever since the first time it was saying it couldn't work due to something and to check all plug ins, etc. etc.

I can't remember how I've fixed it then, but out Lexmark came with two disks, I'm sure of it. I can only find one with z23, z33 on it, which just absolutely ANNOYS THE LIVING... annoys the crap out of me.

OKAY. PROBLEM NOW!!:----v
It did the same thing, I tried as it instructed, nothing worked still. Just the scanner.
I uninstalled it all and now when I go to put in the only disk I have, and move the cord to different USB plugs, all I get is this:

There are no valid ports for the driver. Unable to continue installation.

What the crappers?
=[

I miss using my scanner and NOW my printer, too.

--------
EDIT: I HAVE FOUND MY DISKS:
Now I get this:

Hmm..., do you have high-speed? If so, you should be able to download the drivers and other software on the CD directly from Lexmark's website.

Hyper_Kagome · 08-08-2007, 05:14 AM

I do have high speed. I'll check the site out right now.

Wow, this is annoying me. ._.;

The Driver thing isn't doing as it say it will and just.

RAWRRRR.

I downloaded the x75 driver and the patch from Lexmark's site and STILL the same thing.

Have I ever mentioned how much I have a love-hate relationship with computers and electronics?

i have this printer. i just download and installed the drivers and it worked straight...

BUT.. NO DRIVERS FOR VISTA! lexmark have anounced that it will not be supplying drivers or support for there old printers to be used with vista. so i need a new one.

Hyper_Kagome · 08-08-2007, 07:56 PM

Well, running on XP here.

Still not working. =[

**DCIScouts** · 08-10-2007, 04:35 AM

Did you install any sort of new software right before this newest problem started? Specifically, some security updates for Windows? Otherwise, if you're close to needing to replace the cartridges on the machine, I'd scrap it and get a Canon, Epson or HP to replace the piece of crap. As all Lexmark ink machines are...

Hyper_Kagome · 08-10-2007, 06:27 PM

We actually have new cartridges in it.

It's done this before on me, only I've somehow gotten it fixed before. Just now, the only response I can get from the computer upon plugging in the USB is to one of the slots in the front, and none in the back.
Once plugged into the front the computer notices new hard wear and all that stuff, but nothing installs, and for some stupid reason I have an install disk for a different model we've NEVER OWNED.

Lets see... it stopped working after I had to unhook everything for the computer to go in to get cleaned of the viruses it had picked up from hell knows where.

Well this is great. I just want my scanner... mom needs the printer..

I have found the disks to my printer, but now I get this after I hit INSTALL.
I hit yes and it closes.

Try starting the spooler manually and then installing the drivers. Click on start->run->type 'services.msc'->scroll down until you find Print Spooler->right click it and pick start.
