MP460 uses a USB cable if you get one (they are cheap) there should be a port on the back of your computer for it and with your printer switched on power up your computer and your computer should detect the printer. However if you have no USB port then you need either a new computer or an old printer that uses an old style port!

Please remove all cartridges. Using a moist cloth clean the golden contacts on cartridge as well as printer. Use a moist cloth to clean the nozzle of cartridge. Dont insert the cartridge yet.

Please do this :
1. Remove the power cable from printer. Remove the USB cable that connects printer to computer (remove it from printer as well as computer's usb port)
2. Press the printer power button and keep pressed for 3 minutes then release

I cant install my HPphotosmart7660 printer into my Emachines computer. all my cables are conected and i dont know how to install it.

First, you need to install the software before you plug in the printer.
If you tried to plug in the printer first, you're in for problems.
If the printer is there, uninstall it.
You might even try to do a system restore back a day or two and try it again.

I dont know where the Dell 725 Printer Power Cord goes into the tower Which outlet on the tower

The Dell 725 printer power cord does NOT plug in to the tower. The Video Cable, on the other hand, plugs in to the tower's video output. Look for a connector like the one from the printer (often USB these days) to plug it in to the computer. There was a diagram that came with the computer that showed how to do all the connections, and the Power Cord does NOT plug in to the tower. USB connections are in various locations on your computer's tower, in the back and sometimes in the front too.

Adding the printer to your computer

Plug it in to the UBS port, and see if the computer will show any signs of installing it. If not, go to the Lexmark web site and download the correct driver.
Or email them for correct help.

Connecting to hp f4180

Most likely it was a USB cable. You can find them in the stores. Make sure you get the right type that is on the printer. As they come in a few different sizes and shapes. Although most knowledgeable people at the store will probably know what kind you need for a printer. What is the make and model anyway? I'll look it up and tell you the exact one to look for.
