My printer has been recognized as a device by Windows 7, and I'm unable to print from it

When installing my Lexmark Prospect SE Pro208 (Print, Scan, copy, fax) on my laptop, it was recognized as a device and a printer. So, when I go to print, it is not recognized as a printer installed and so I'm not able to select to print. Is it possible to reclassify a device like a printer? If this is not the case, how can I solve this problem for me to print it. TXS, John

Hi John,.

Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

1. do you receive any error messages?

2. you are trying to print for the first time using this printer?

Windows Compatibility Center, there clearly states that printer is compatible with the Windows operating system.

This problem normally occurs when the printer driver is not configured correctly or it must be updated to the latest.

Update printer driver to the latest version of the material provided.

You can find the driver of this article provided. Select your operating system and download the latest version.

If the problem persists, I suggest you run the utility troubleshooting printer and also check the connectivity of the printer.

Alternatively, you can display the query in the Lexmark support forums for more information.

Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

  • Firefox does not open, and when I try to use the "run", it says that the file has been moved, etc. I use Windows 8 and I can't lose my favorites. Help?

    Firefox has been great to work on my computer for months and then suddenly he could not load pages. So, naturally, I restarted my computer, but when it restarted Firefox does not open. The icon lights for a bit as usual, then it fades and never actually opens. When I try to use the "run" command, I get this error:
    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer or on a network. Make sure that the disc is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it can't be located, the information may have been moved to another location. »
    I also tried the same thing for the file in the x 86 folder, but it gave the same error and I went and looked for the files in the given location and they were there.
    Firefox is not to fall down, so he isn't there an other error message, I can give you.
    The things that I had my favorites are really important, I can not lose those, but I am fine with anything else have to re-installed, etc..
    Help please?

    I've never tried it myself, but the forum has a series of measures for a "clean reinstall" Firefox. Even if you do not delete the record of your personal settings (AKA profile) during this process, a backup of this folder is always a good idea in case something goes wrong.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • No updatable Sansa product has been recognized

    Hi all

    I know this has probably been asked before, but I'm stuck. I formatted my Sansa Clip of Zip in Windows 7 and now I can't reinstall the OF or the OS (I'm not sure which would be the correct term here) on this subject. the ideea of formatting has been format FAT32 exFAT fo to make it work faster when you copy files on and it (at least that's what I'd like to happen, don't know if not so on) and now I can't get it to work. I tried everything, reformat to FAT32, tried the automatic update, tried the manual update, installed RockBox in the process of loading the original firmware from Sandisk, nothing works.

    When I try the upgrade from Sansa and plug the device I get "no updatable Sansa product was recognized", if I go out I get a message on the screen that says "* PANIC * mount: 0", then "no partition found", the "plug USB cable" and then we will again with "no updatable Sansa product has been recognized".»

    Help, please

    Your drive doesn't support exFAT, so no surprise with which breaks everything. You'll need back in USB mode and then reformat the drive in fat32. This error message is to rockbox bootloader I think, so if you have installed you should be able to hold the select button with the player, then plug it into USB while holding down the button. Which will allow I hope it emergency boot loader USB mode. If it works, try to reformat to fat32. Then reinstall rockbox, or install an update of the firmware from sandisk (do not use the automatic update, it won't work).

    Windows Defender is disabled whenever I turn on my computer. setting has been activated automatically, but a message "windows defender is disabled" keep appearing one whenever I click on it. Help, please. Thank you!

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

    If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
    Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...

  • Device to Windows Mobile and Windows 7

    I could not find the Windows Mobile Device Center in Windows 7. In addition, when I plug my camera in Windows 7, it does not recognize. Vista had no problems to recognize or sync to the device.

    Anyone know where he is at the center of the device in Windows 7 and how to get Windows 7 to recognize the device?

    MitigationElf,
    Mobile Device Center will be installed automatically once you connect your mobile device.
    If your device is not compatible, you might need to wait until your device support manufacturer releases.
    Please remember that Windows 7 is still in testing, official support and adoption must be provided by the manufacturers at the time of the release. Rami

    Hello Rami,

    I guess the point of my question was that Windows Mobile Device Center does NOT automatically install in Windows 7 when a compatible device is connected. The T-Mobile wing is fully compatible with Windows 7. (to push the point a bit more, Windows 7 documentation indicates that something compatible with Vista is also compatible with Windows 7, but it is a question of a different thread).

    When I plugged my wing in, not Windows 7 has not yet recognized that something had been plugged in, and still less that it is a Windows Mobile 6.1 device.

    I have, however, found a workaround. First of all, I found Windows Mobile Device center in the downloads section of the Microsoft.com site and installed it - he aparently comes not packed with Windows 7. Once I did the install and then plugged the Windows Mobile 6.1 device back in, then it is detectable.

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Brother HL-1430 printed recognized as a device in Windows 8!

    .

    I had a problem installing my printer Brother HL-1430 of monochrome laser on a new PC running Windows 8.

    The printer installed OK and works.

    However, under Control Panel/hardware and Sound/devices and printers, it is listed as a device, not a printer.

    The annoying problem as another printer on another computer (Windows 7) on the home network has been nominated as the default printer and I need to check the right printer each time I print. Also when you print an envelope under mailing address I not give me the option to change printer.

    Device Manager indicates that the driver is up-to-date!

    Any help would be appreciated

  • A driver for my CD drive has been disabled. How to identify the driver and solve the problem?

    Lately, I have not been able to use my CD-ROM drive. When I put a disc in, the player starts to turn, but Windows does not recognize the disc. When I navigate to the CD-ROM drive in the Explorer, a message appears telling me "Please insert a disk into drive D:." When I look at the properties of the device, I get the following device status:

    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

    Trouble shooting steps me to uninstall and reinstall the device, but this has no effect - the drive still does not work.
