Make sure that the firmware of your printer is up to date. Just go to http://bit.ly/ghfW8H to download the firmware update.

If the WiFi light on your printer is orange, re-install the software and connect your printer to your network.

If the WiFi light is green, powercycle your printer, router and computer. After rebooting, assign a static IP on the printer.

A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Simply disconnect the printer from your computer (if USB connected)> reboot your pc > unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer (if USB connected). Then try to print again once the computer fully recognizes the USB connection or when the WiFi light on the printer turns solid green (if WiFi connected.).

If that doesn't help, try the steps below:

1. Disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer from your computer.
2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
3. Delete the Lexmark print object.
4. Reboot computer.
5. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - black box where the power cord is plugged into on the back of the printer, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
6. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to the computer.
7. Wait until your computer fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list, try to print a document to verify that the problem is fixed.

You may also try to update your printer driver by visiting the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/guXLhl. Select your operating system, download and execute the file.

Blinking orange on the WiFi light means one of the following:

• The printer is out of the range of the wireless access point (wireless router)
• The printer is trying to communicate with the wireless access point but the wireless access point is turned off or not working properly.
• Either the configured printer of the wireless access point has been turned off and back on, and the printer is trying to establish communications with the network.
• The wireless settings of the printer may no longer be valid.

The orange WiFi light on the printer indicates that the printer is not connected to any network or trying to get connected to a wireless network when it's blinking.
Execute the Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility and make sure to enter the correct encryption keys if your wireless network is secured.
Make sure to allow full access to all Lexmark software and printer communication processes in the program rules/permissions for your firewall.
Place your printer where it receives excellent wireless signal quality and away from other electronic devices which can cause wireless interferences (e.g. cordless phones, microwave ovens, baby monitors, garage door openers, and other wireless electronics).

The flashing light indicates that the printer is trying to connect to a network or is not connected to a network. This article Wireless & Network Communication Issues with 2008 Lexmark Inkjet Products will help you identify and resolve the issue.

I have the same problem and i am now on the third day clueless. Did anyone come up with an constructive soluion or idea?

Good day! There are things you need to check to successfully connect the printer for wireless connection.
1. Make sure the wifi light on the printer is solid orange before continuing. If not, go to Setup > Network Setup > Reset Network Adapter to Defaults. Wifi light should turn off, then wait for it to turn solid orange.
2. WEP key can be ASCII or HEX(hexadecimal) depending on what was assigned to it. You may be using an incorrect WEP key. Just to make sure, access your router setup page and double-check the WEP key assigned to it. If you don't know how to access the router setup page, you can always ask assistance from either your internet service company or the router's manufacturer.
Once you get the correct WEP key and wifi light solid orange on the printer, try connecting the printer again for wireless connection. Good luck!
