Printer Installation I recently purchased a hp compaq presario sr2020nx an I have a lexmark x75 printer to install.Is the printer compatible to the computer? If so, I do not have a printer software to download. Can I download a copy off of the computer.?.Please Help me I have a Big Headache. Please and Thank You.

You mean will the Asus ATI Radeon HD6450 with 1GB of graphics memory, work in a Compaq Presario SR2020NX Desktop PC?

Yes.

The Compaq Presario SR2020NX Desktop PC has a PCI-Express x16 expansion slot.

{Motherboard illustration and photo are towards the bottom of the page}

Look at the specifications.
Scroll down to the heading - Expansion slots.

Three PCI. (PCI expansion slots)

One PCI Express x16 graphics.

NOTE*
Looking at the motherboard illustration, it is Wrong.
Shows - PCIEX1 (PCI E X1)
According to the specifications it is a PCIEX16 expansion slot. (PCI-E x16)

A PCI-Express x1 slot has 36 contact pins. 18 on each side.

In comparison a PCI slot {White} has 124 contact pins. 62 on each side.

Looking at the photo of the supposed PCI-E x1 slot they show, the black PCI-Ex1 slot is longer than the white PCI slots.

It is a PCI-Express x16 slot with 164 pins. 82 on each side.



The Asus ATI Radeon HD6450 uses a PCI-Express x16 expansion slot.

So you know the graphics card will fit. Low-profile to boot.

Power requirement:
The Compaq Presario SR2020NX desktop computer comes with a 300 Watt power supply.
(Although in actuality it's more like 70 percent of the maximum rated wattage. 210 Watts)

Enough power for the computer, and the graphics card.
ATI graphics cards do not use as much power as a comparable Nvidia graphics card.

Concerned that the Asus graphics card uses DDR3 graphics ram memory, and the Presario SR2020NX uses DDR2 Sdram ram memory?

Don't be. The graphics cards graphics memory runs independent of the computer's ram memory.

Please ensure that the Lexmark X75 printer driver is properly installed on your computer. You can download and install the X75 printer driver by visiting the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/iSpJjv. Select your operating system, download and execute the file. Follow the instructions on your computer screen.
Note: The Lexmark X75 printer is not compatible with Vista and Windows 7.

The Compaq SR2020NX has an on-board system recovery tool that can be used to create recovery disks. Unfortunately, on many of these models it was not clearly stated that it was the user's responsibility to create recovery disks, so many people did not do so.

You might be able to launch the onboard system recovery by tapping the F11 key when the computer is starting up. Some of the HP/Compaq models from this time frame allowed that option, but not all of them.

If the F11 key does not work, you will need to purchase a recovery disk set. HP/Compaq no longer sells them for this model, but I did find a link for a place where one can be purchased, which appears to be legitimate. http://www.hpandcompaq.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage_images.tpl&product_id=4899&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2&vmcchk=1&Itemid=2

Good luck, and hope this is helpful!

Being SATA and within the limitds of the MB, the HD WD Caviar will works fine

Yes it is compatible although you will need to fit your own Wifi card. There are two types of card, PCI and USB. To fit a PCI card you will need to open up the PC and install the card into a spare PCI slot. To fit a USB card you simply plug it into any spare external USB socket.

try using that link to d/l the file, if you still cant d/l then you'll have to call Lexmark support and pay to have a CD shipped to you.

It would be better if you install the software/driver first in your computer. The software also shows you the instructions on how to setup the printer itself. Here are the drivers available for download in the Lexmark website. Just click on the driver compatible with your computer's operating system.
- Lexmark X75 AIO Printer driver for Mac OS X, Mac OS X 10.1, Mac OS X 10.1.5, Mac OS X 10.2, Mac OS X 10.2.1, Mac OS X 10.2.8, Mac OS X 10.3.x, and Mac OS X 10.4.x.
- Custom Driver for Microsoft Windows 2000
- Driver for Microsoft Windows XP
These are the only available drivers. That means the printer is not compatible with Mac 10.5, Mac 10.6, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
For additional information, here's the Setup Sheet (Lexmark X74, X75) and the User's Guide (Lexmark X74, X75) . Hope this helps.

The reason why you receive that error when you try to install the software to you computer because this printer is not compatible with Vista and lexmark didn't create any software for Vista....

I would like to inform you that X73 printer is not compatible with Windows Vista OS and there are no driver available. However, if you are a US citizen then you may contact Lexmark chat or email support and they will give you 20% discount if you purchase a new Lexmark printer.

We recently purchased and installed an HP Compaq presario, and now we don't get the printing display in the lower right corner that would indicate the task in progress with page of page, number of pages and...ink levels. Also we can't cancel a project in 'mid-print' without turning the printer off and on again/
