Lexmark printer will not install....
Andy Carlton

Just wondering here if anyone has had any installation issues with printers.

I have had a bad run with printers this year so far returning two - and this is my third one and it is getting rather frustrating now. (Currys are getting slightly agitated)

This is a Lexmark X3580 all-in-one printer/scanner.

The problem is that when i attempt to install it - i keep getting error messages stating that the device is unrecognized and that there is a 'malfunction' error and windows does not recognize this device. I have tried installing it manually - but to no avail. (I am using standard USB connection) Other devices from the same USB sockets work fine so it's not an issue with the USB sockets.

I have unistalled any previous printer software and also done a complete system clean up before re-installing this - but to no avail.

Anyone had any similar experiences with Lexmark? or are they a waste of time?

I had the same issue with a customers' machine the other day. Took me about 4 hrs to track it down.
