Printer Problem

Okay, I ordered a printer about a week ago and got it today.

Problem is; there is no way to plug the printer is. It looks like a peice is missing but I don't know what it is, I think I might have to buy it seperatly .. Can anybody tell me what the name of the peice is called? Please.

Here's a picture of what I am talking about.

Thank you so much guys. I'm definitely going to call and request that the AC adapter be sent to me.

Re: Printer Problem

You are missing the AC adapter.  That's a Lexmark printer right?  The back looks identical to the Dell printer that I have (which is actually a Lexmark). In the big empty space next to the USB port, there should be an adapter that slides in there.  Did you buy this new?  If that 's the case, you should be able to call Lexmark and ask for them to send you an AC adapter and power cord.

Yup, it's the power adapter.

I don't see anything on Ebay, except for one on sale in the UK for 15 pounds.

15 British pounds = 30.7425 U.S. dollars

The Lexmark site, as is typical with any product support site, is not user friendly. The particular page handling warranty information is broken...sigh.

Re: Printer Problem

It should have come with a power supply and cord...which I guess yours maybe didn't??   Contact the seller...its not an optional purchase, it should have come with it.

Re: Printer Problem

Yes, I think it came with a USB! Whatever it's called that plugs into the back of the computer, lol.

It is a Lexmark P4350

Re: Printer Problem

What's the brand and model?

You're referring to an USB, firewire or network port, correct? Do you have one or the other? Did it come with the connection cable (USB, firewire or network cable)?
