hi folks can anyone help me??? my printer driver setup keeps saying that my
cable is damaged or not connected so can not carry on with instalation of
setup? has anybody else had this problem with the lexmark X1190 all-in-one?
im running win xp, plenty of ram, plenty of virtual memory, usb cable is
fine? i follow the setup instructions to the letter, plase help if you can
many thanks for reading this
 
hi i have already tried that, yep b4 you ask i did a full shut down and a
reset and a log off of the computer? i'm using usb 1 but that shuldnt make a
difference should it? when i ask the computer to look 4 it it says new device
found and that new device is a usb hub??? im really confused now
 
It shouldn't be a problem.... these ports are on the motherboard?

Did you try a different USB cable?

Are the USB ports working correctly with all other USB devices?
 
hi yep the ports are on the motherboard, im using my internet connection
through my usb port so they r fine, ive tried 3 different cables now still to
no avail?
 
Try downloading a new set of drivers from the Lexmark website.

Shutdown the PC.... disconnect the PC (temporarily) from the internet by
disconencting the USB modem.

Start up the PC, install the printer software and see if it now correctly
recognizes the printer. If it does, it may indicate that your PSU is not
outputting sufficient wattage to power both USB ports at once. BTW a
printer with a USB port can be considered a USB hub in addition to being a
printer. Sure they are designed to connect a digital camera, but there
really is nothing to stop any USB device being 'daisy chained' in this way
provided the power is sufficient.
