Hi all.Thanks for the help. I think I know what you mean now. Probably come across them every single day without realizing. Smiles.
Take care. Chris Hallsworth On 01/04/2011 21:57, LaMcAs wrote:

I'll never understand why they are not included as it is essential to connect a printer in order to use it! And if you think back to your parallel and serial printers - they never came with a cable either! Yet most other peripherals usually come with a connecting cable, be it a phone or other piece of equipment!

Look at the sheet that may have come to tell you what was in the box first and/or then call them to check before you go out buying one. After all, you'll almost certainly get the right one then. I haven't known a printer come without its cables before. -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "chris hallsworth"<christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To:<access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 9:15 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: New PrinterHi Larry. No problem, have managed to install the printer drivers. It requires the review mode of the screen reader of choice but it can be done. Looking forward to hear where I can purchase appropriate USB cables for this printer. Take care.

You have to initially set the printer up via usb and then you get the choice of connecting wirelessly. When you choose the wireless option you will be asked to identify the wireless network you wish to connect to and will also need to enter the wireless key. Printing via wireless will be fine but I don't think you can scan wirelessly.

It is a Lexmark X2670 multifunction inkjet printer, which I got from www.play.com for £24.99. It should have been about £70, but clearly it was on offer. Will keep you updated. Trying to get wireless working but understand I am new to this area and that is why I haven't got Windows 7 to find it at the moment.
