Forgot to mention, also will not print a test page. Says test page was sent to printer, but no print.
I was using this printer with my old computer (Windows ME) and worked ok.

Their response was surprisingly helpful:
First download and run "CleanupUtility.exe" from: ftp://ftp.lexmark.com/driver/inkjet_drivers/Cleanup/
Then unplug the printer's USB cable and restart your PC.
Then download and run the printer's drivers/install program for Vista, from: http://downloads.lexmark.com:/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:548:0:0&emeaframe=&fileID=10374&searchLang=en&searchLang=en&os_group=Windows%20Vista
Only plug the USB cable back in when the drivers/install program tells you to.
After install, I think it asks for another reboot.
Then all should work fine.

Everything seems to be working, except the printer does nothing. Was working fine on my old computer which died and was replaced with this new one.

Maybe its a USB print problem?
My PC is a HP pavilion t290nl (intel pentium 3 processor)
Before the upgrade to vista everything worked ;-(
