A cousin of mine is trying to install a lexmark z51 printer. No matter what
we do we simply cannot get it installed. Everytime the usb connection shows
"unknown device". We tried everything looking for new drivers in every
corner of his PC but it fails over and over again.
The printer itself works on another PC so that is oke'. We even installed
the windows98 from the pc it worked on, on his pc. But the printer refuses
to work. The printer also refuses to work on the parallelport.
The "unknown device" runs on the following driver C:\Windows\INF\usb.inf
Does somebody has an idea what is wrong (USB is enabled in the BIOS) ????
When the driver of the printer is installed it automatically says LPT1
this must be changed in USB001....Could this have anything to do with
it.!!!!!!!
