Will not work with usb cable - Lexmark Office Equipment & Supplies

First try a different USB cable. (It's a standard USB 2.0 A/B male at both ends cable; it's often sold as a USB printer cable. The cable should be 6' or shorter.) Try a different port on the computer; ports can fail either due to high or low current issues. Ports also fail if the cable is loose in the port slot. If you are using a USB hub, try a direct connection. Make sure that you are using the type B port on the sewing machine.
If you still have problems and the computer USB ports work with other devices, then try putting your embroidery design on a USB drive (note: FAT32 format and less than 4GB capacity drives are more likely to work). Check if the USB type A port works with the flash drive. These machines only talk to Windows OS machines.

If the USB devices fail, you may need to have the machine serviced. Fixing the USB port requires opening the sewing machine.

I hope this helps.

(The most common problems with all USB connections is a bad cable preventing full communication between the device and the computer.)

be aware, some firms sell cheap USB charging cables for the use on cell phones. These cables don't have all wires inside to put through all the signals and are not shielded.
My guess is your MP3 player has a micro USB connector. Just lent a "real" USB cable to test if that works. If it works, buy a real USB cable.

USB adapter cables with Datamax - some cables work and some don't. Parallel to USB cable more likely to work than Serial to USB.

If your computer or laptop has a problem detecting a USBhard drive or a USB device, and another computer can detect it, then theproblem could be a RF interference problem. Try using an USB cable that is a shielded USB cable (ie. AnUSB cable that has a clear plastic covering and you can see a metallic weavewhich covers the wires) OR a USB cable that has a Ferrite core attached to theUSB cable (the ferrite core is a cylindrical object approximately 30mm long X15mm diameter and it is attached to the USB cable near the connector).

You need a Printer usb cable. It is now common that company don't offer the cable with new printer. You can use an old one or buy a new.

Suggestions:
(best to worst)
1. Use a "Y" USB cable with that drive.
2. Use a shorter USB cable.
3. Use the new cables with the canon
4. Use a 2.0 hub

The drive should have come with a "split" USB cable (USB "Y" cable). The drive requires a "data" and a "power" connection to your computer.
Get one at Radio Shack, Best Buy, Office Depot/Max... ($10)... or Dollar store ($1.09)

hi i had this problem my controller would not charge although my head set would useing the same usb cable .i brought a new controller and tried two usb leads it was no different .this is the silly bit go and buy a new genuine ps3 usb cable and and i promise you all your problems will be solved .i have no idea y the cables stop working with only the conroller but they do i hope this helps all you people pulling your hair out trust me this will work

the printer is designed to work with a parallel cabel connection. usb to parallel conversion cables may or may not work. 
now for the second part is, about the driver (visit manufacturers website for updated drivers), usb driver behaves differently compared to parallel drivers as it expects a usb printer connected to a computer. try both drivers. remember, it may or may not work.

Try the follwoing steps, i m sure that it will start working bcoz i tried the same steps and my printer started working:

1. Turn the power to the computer off.
2. Press the power button to turn off the product.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Press the power button to turn the product back on.
6. When the computer restarts, try the scan again.

• If the issue is not resolved , try some other troubleshooting:
• Connect USB cable directly to the computer and then restart the product and try to scan again
• If the product still does not work , try some other steps:
• Connect the USB cable to a USB hub or a docking station for a laptop. 1. Restart the computer and the product and try to scan again.
• If the product doesnot works after connecting the USB cable directly to the computer , follow these steps:
  1. 1. Reconnect the USB cable.
     2. Try the scan again.
        • If the product worked when the USB cable was connected directly to the computer, but does not work after reconnecting the USB cable in the original configuration, there might be a problem with the hub or docking station. Either leave the USB cable connected directly to the computer, or contact the manufacturer of the hub or docking station for troubleshooting.
     If the product does not work after connecting the USB cable directly to the computer , follow these steps.
     1. Replace the USB cable.
     2. Try the scan again.
        • If the product does not work with the new cable, continue to the next solution.
  Now, if this doesnot work, there is a conflicting USB device connected to the computer
  1. Disconnect all other USB devices from the computer except for the keyboard, the mouse, and the product.
  2. Try the scan again.
     • The issue would be resolved now and teh answer is that the computer might not have sufficient power supplied to the USB ports to detect multiple USB devices. HP recommends installing a USB powered hub to connect multiple USB devices.
