lexmark x1190 problems

crash_overide66 · 05-27-2007, 02:33 PM

I have an Lexmark x1190 all in one printer and i am running win xp sp2. A few days ago i had to do a complete format on my computer and now my printer is coming up with all sort of problems. The software installs fine and i can print fine. However when i restart my computer windows loads up and i get a balloon in the system tray saying new hardware found (Lexmark x1100 Series). I then get a box pop up on the screen saying FOUND NEW HARDWARE, Cannot install this hardware, There was a problem installing this hardware, Lexmark x1100 series, The file cannot find the specified file, Click Finish to close this wizard. When i click Finish, the balloon pops up again and so does this box. It keeps on popping up when i click Finish. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled, i have also tried all my usb ports and i still have the same problem. I have downloaded the updates and still the same. The printer still prints but i cannot get rid of this box and it is becoming rather annoying. The only way i acn get rid of this is uninstalling the printer. Please i had been racking my brains and i cannot sort this out, so anyone would could help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,

First, Welcome To TSF.

It could be that there is a new driver that you need to install for the printer. I have been on the Lexmark Website and here is the Driver. Just click and download it and then install it.

For Windows XP

Any Problems Just Ask.

Have A Nice Day.

Jaymie.

Thanks for the welcome. I have tried that download and i seem to have the same problems. It installs fine, but when i restart my computer thats when the problems occur.

Hi,

Have you contacted lexmark about this?

I have finally sorted it, what a pain in the ****. I had to play around with the registry and i finally sorted it. Thanks for you help.

Dell printers are rip offs of lexmark machines, i would look at my post at Dell Photo Printer 720 Not Communicating

the same idea applies to your printer.

plus, lexmarks are famous for failures and feeding problems.
there is a reason why it only costs £ 55.82.
