hi.

I have a lexmark z33 only usb it's not possible to connect it on the lpt 1, when i connect the printer to the usb port win xp detect and install the printer but when i want to print i receive an error message : lost connection......

It's happen one time and i'm not able to reproduce the error the pc reboot when i want to print

i change the usb cable (error message: lost connection)
i check the usb port (they works fine)
i took the printer and plug it on an other pc and the printer works fine #$%$#@#$$%%

I download the latest drivers from lexmark and i got always the lost connection error....


any idea

regards

Your USB port needs to be 1.1 compatible .
If it's onboard USB, you migh set it in the BIOS .

and where i can set it in the bios....

Tell us the brand and model of your motherboard ,
and we will try to figure it out .Are you running XP pro or Home with SP1 and all updates(from windowsupdate)

//Regards Soaplover
 
i will check it tonight

i'm running xp pro and not sure for sp1, because it's for someone else.....
