Well, Vista doesn't really support older printers.
Are you sure that the printer is compatible with vista? Search the model number on the internet then post back here. I Hate vista. |

Unistall the driver then find you printer on http://support.lexmark.com/cgi-pe...ownloads.cgi&&req=:::-1:: and install the driver for vista and it should then work | ||||

Try changing the USB Lead which you connect to your printer to your computer/laptop.
I had a problem with the lead before, but a replacement fixed the problem

Now you realise why I hate vista. Its got tonnes of bugs in it which make it incompatible with slightly older hardware and software.  :

Haha. Your talking crap ^^. Its because you've got the driver disc for Windows XP. If you go on http://support.lexmark.com/cgi-pe...ownloads.cgi&&req=:::-1:: Then find the printer you have, and download the VISTA version. Then install, restart computer (take usb cable out, and put it back in). Then it'll work =] |
