I cannot get my lexmark x4975 to connect with my computer running windows 7. It has worked in the past, and both my computer and printer are connected to the same network, but I cannot get the wireless setup utility to complete the connection between my computer and printer, eventhough, my printer's wifi light is solid green.

    What is the IP address of the printer? Print the network settings page from the printer to view the printer's wireless settings. If printer is still on the same network, I suggest you reinstall the software using the driver from the Lexmark website. Before downloading the driver, check if your Windows 7 is running on 32-bit or 64-bit then download the compatible driver.

You could try going to Lexmark, look up the model and see if there is a download to update the driver.

SOURCE: my lexmark x4975 will connect by USB but will not

With the wifi light off, it's not possible to make wireless connection go through. The wifi light should light up orange before configuring it to work wireless. Try this, press Settings(wrench icon) > Network/Wireless Setup, then Ok > Reset Network Adapter, then Ok. Wait for the wifi light to show up orange in few seconds. If no go, unplug the power supply(the black box behind the printer where the power cord is attached). Wait for 10-15 seconds before plugging it back in the printer. If you need more assistance, leave a comment and I'll get back to it. Thanks.

SOURCE: laptop lost wireless connection to printer

Is is a wifi connection? What type of connection do you use? Adhoc or infrastructure(meaning does it pass through the wifi router or direct to the laptop)?You may have to reconfigure your wifi.

SOURCE: I have a Lexmark Prevail P705 wireless all-in-one

You have free tech support with Lexmark for this printer. You might try contacting them. Secondarily, you could try resetting the factory defaults from the front screen of the printer, and removing the power block (the power cord is connected to it) then reinserting it.

You can access driver downloads directly at the Lexmark support site. I know that during my setup of a P705 that it would not automatically download the updates.

    Check if your printer is still connected to the same network as your computer. Refer to this article: How to Print the Network Settings Page on X4600 Series All-In-Ones (AIOs). If you the printout, check the SSID and other network information. If printer still belongs to your network, then it could be a firewall issue. Make sure to allow all Lexmark and printer communications in the program rules/permissions for your firewall. If printer doesn't belong the same network as your computer, then you need to reset the printer's wireless network adapter and re-launch the Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility.

    Lexmarx X4975 disable complete-a-print

    The Lexmark X4975 Professional is a multifunction thermal inkjet printer that not only prints documents and photos, but also makes two-sided printouts, scans and copies materials and accepts line-connected or wireless device print requests. Three color ink cartridges--cyan, magenta and yellow--and a single black cartridge rest inside an ink cartridge carrier. Printer cartridge replacement is not difficult. Each cartridge is secured in place with a cartridge carrier lid that opens with the simple press of a lever.
    • Turn on the Lexmark X4975 printer. Lift up the entire scanner unit to rest in an open, angled position that reveals the interior of the printer.

    • 2

      Press down on the lever in front of the printer cartridge that you need to replace to open the cartridge carrier lid.


      • 3 Pull the old cartridge from its slot in the carrier.

      • 4

        Grasp the tab attached to the tape covering the electrical contacts and ink nozzles on the back and bottom of the replacement printer cartridge. Pull the tape away from the cartridge carefully without touching the contacts or nozzles.

      • 5

        Insert the cartridge into the empty slot--the electrical contacts facing the back of the slot inserted before the front of the cartridge.

      • 6

        Flip the cartridge carrier lid over the top of the cartridge and then push down on the top of the lid until you feel the lever lock the lid in place.

      • 7

        Repeat the replacement process with the other printer cartridge if necessary. Lower the scanner back into position when finished.

    I have brought a lexmark x4975 printer with no manual or disk.... and have not got a clue how to set up wireless printing... please help

    Wireless printing happens in conjunction with your wireless router. You need the access information for that. Then go to Lexmark website and download and install the software for that printer, and follow the directions exactly. Each computer will need software installed in order to connect.

    Lost set-up for my x4975. Can you get a copy so I can know how to put in ink and set up.

    Here's the link to download the Lexmark X4975 User's Guide: http://bit.ly/dvZAml. Scroll to Maintaining the Printer, Page 98, for instructions on how to install/replace cartridges.
    In some cases, the ink cartridge carrier won't position itself in the middle even when the printer is on and the cover is open. Just unplug the printer from the power source. With the cover open, hold the white tape in the middle inside the printer. The other end of it is connected to the carrier. Gently slide the carrier to the center. Load the cartridges. Close the cover. Plug the printer back to power source. Hope this helps. Thanks.
