If it is in other devices you haven't installed the driver correctly. Uninstall any attempt you made at installing the driver (add/remove programs). Re-check the manual for USB instructions. I have had 4 Lexmark's (thought not one at present) and you have to run the install program without the USB printer connected, connecting it when requested during the driver install portion.
If you don't want to do it the easy way, you can go into control panel /printers/add a printer and do it from there (manually)

The manual said: hook up first on a USB port and then run the machine.
The printer is properly recognized by its name in Device Manager under Other devices.
It makes a dingdong sound when dis/connected.
I just cannot attach it to Printers in the Printer setting menu nor print for that reason.

How to proceed?

Did you run the set up program properly? You usually leave the usb printer disconnected until asked for by the install program, hook it up and finish the install.

Hi,

Does Vista Home Premium NOT accept a USB printer as its only/first printer?

My Lexmark Z23-33 is recognized by the USB function but not visible nor addressable under Printers.

Do I really need an old 'local' printer with the big connector as a first printer?

Is there a workaround?

Curious,
Maria
