Vista will not recognize usb printer
Closed
Hello,
I'm running Vista and I'm trying to printer on a Lexmark X4650 all-in-one printer. There is a communication error between the computer and the printer, and the Lexmark people believe the problems lies in the USB ports.
I have downloaded the driver for the printer off of the Lexmark website and it seems to have done nothing to help the situation.
When I plug in the printer and go into My Computer, the printer is recognized as a removable disk. Also, when I click 'properties' of the OS and click the hardware tab, the Lexmark printer is recognized as a mass storage device.
It seems this is something of a problem with Vista, but is there anything I can do to make the printer recognize and communicate with the printer?

hi there,
download the version driver for vista
then remove any media attached to the printer
like usb flash disk and memory card
then install the driver
also go to services and restart the print spooler
Thanks
