Your computer may have Usb1.1 support and the printer requires USB 2.0.If so you can buy A USB 2.0 PCI Card Fairly cheap at EBAY Canada.

Hi Street1.
Thanks much for the reply that could be the problem, how would I confirm if U have usb's 1 or 2?ve3te Niagara Canada

How can you tell if you have USB 2.0?
Right-click My Computer
Click on Properties
Click on the Hardware tab
Click on the device Manager button
Scroll down as needed until you see Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Expand that by clicking on the boxed plus sign in front of Universal Serial Bus Controllers
At this point you should if you see something like, "Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller". While the exact text may vary, the key is the word "Enhanced".
If it's "Enhanced", it's USB 2.0. If it's not, then it's USB 1.x

Thanks Street1
The usb serial bus does indeed says standard enhanced pci to usb Host controller.
The Lexmark Printer is a Z605.
I have a new driver dnld'd from their site.
Spoke to Lexmark support who are great and the young lady tried 3 times and then had to run.
Can't see how I cud use any usb printer.
Thank you kindly

See response 1.You could probably use it.You just currently don't have USB2.0 hardware support on your computer.

Do you mean I have USB2.0 hardware and USB1.0
harware support.
If so is there a way to get get it other than changing the card?
Mny Tnx

You would need to add the card.Sorry response 6 .I am saying you need new hardware ie.. A USB 2.0 PCI card or USB 2.0 Hub.Both are very low cost.

Okeedokee.
Got that into my thick skull. The girl at Lexmark told me as much. ie You have no USB
Printer support.
Thanks for all your time , really appreciate it.
Will look around for usb2 card.
