Hello Jasonsj10, You can get the support you need from Lexmark directly here: Make Your Selection I hope this helps!

Well, try using Google Chrome. No more messages like that will pop up.

If you are printing wireless thru a D-Link adapter, you are going thru too many connections. Let me explain: I have worked on electronics most of my life and the old saying goes, "the more breaks you have in a connection, the more chances you have that something, somewhere in between the breaks, will cause you to have more problems". Go thru your Uverse directly with a RJ45 or CAT5 cable, if possible. If not, then hard wire it using a USB switch. This allows multiple devices to use the same printer. Hope this helps.

uninstall the printer and reinstall it if it says it is printing to your printer. under printers your printer should be set as default. test by selecting print from the menu. it should come up to a screen showing you which printer you are printing to.

no will damage the printer the unit has an adapter for a reason and a new one is inexpensive

gamal, do you mean installing software using your cd. IF that, then using cd drive and following on screen direction should do it. I hope you cd drive is ok.

Turn off the Printer and Unplug it from the Power Supply. Remove the Cartridges from the Printer!!!!! On the Backside of the Cartridge you would see a Copper Stripe, Wipe the Copper Stripe using a Paper Towel! Reinsert the Cartridges and Restart the Printer. Good Luck!!!

If you insert the old cartridge, does it recognize it? If it does, then it's a problem with the new cartridge. Try to check if you already have taken out the protective tapes out of the cartridge.If it still doesn't recognize the old cartridge, then it's a problem with the printer.

Hi,The steps below should help you override the error and make the printer accept the cartridges and allow you to print.Instructions

     Wet the end of a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol.

   • 5

     Wipe the contacts in the printer where the cartridge sits.

Your Question is answered

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.
