How to Perform the Hardware Test on a Lexmark Z840 and Z845 Color Jetprinter
Document ID:HO3002

Solution
Performing the Hardware Test
Turn off the printer.
Press and hold the Paper Feed button.
While continuing to hold down the Paper Feed button, press the Power button ONCE.
When the Power button begins to flash rapidly, release the Paper Feed button. A test page will print.
If the USB connection doesn't work, first try a different cable and then try changing USB ports. The printer does have internet connection options but those can be trickier to diagnose a problem. (Problems with firewalls or Adding the device in the Control Panel are common.)
You may want to see if the Printer is actually compatible with Windows Vista first before you try anything else.
If your Printer is Listed Below, then unfortunately it will not run on your system unless you format the machine and downgrade to Windows XP. (Or obviously you can wait until the device is supported, but to be honest that could be months, years).

I had the same problem with lexmark z845. It is easy to solve this problem.Just do like the picture I post and you never get the paper pull to one side again. The problem is the rolling motor is too strong, so it pull the paper out out the tray in oneside. I use the mini cassette box, stick it with the super glue. And the printer works very well
Maybe your USB port or USB cable is not working? For sure you need to get the latest drivers for Vista, Try to download the driver from Lexmark website at http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?category=Drivers&ccs=229:1:0:552:0:0&searchLang=en&os_group=Windows%20Vista
If that still doesn't work, see if you can get another USB device to connect to your computer - like a USB Flash Drive (or "thumb drive").
go to lexmark website and download millenium software driver. or just go to this link:
