Re-launch the Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility to connect the printer to your network. If you have a firewall enabled, make sure to allow full access to all Lexmark software and printer communication processes in the program rules/permissions for your firewall. Also, 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).

Looks like the firmware of the printer hang up on you. Try to reset the printer back to factory default settings. Please see procedure below:

To reset to Factory Default settings, turn off the printer by pressing and holding down power button. Then release the button. Press and hold down Color Start and Cancel buttons while pressing and releasing the power button. Continue holding down the Cancel and Start buttons for at least 20 seconds then release it. You will then be prompted to go through the setup again. To reset the printer's wireless network adapter, press Settings on the operator panel > Network Setup > Wireless Setup > Reset Network Adapter > hit check to confirm.

There could be something that's blocking a printer communication process - firewall maybe? Make sure to allow full access to all Lexmark software and processes, especially lx??wbgw.exe (where ?? stands for any letters), in the program rules/permissions for the firewall. Also, on your computer, go to Start menu > in Run/Search bar, type services.msc and hit Enter > scroll down the items and look for lx??CATSCustConnectService > right-click on the service and select Stop. Try to print again.

I have tried to set up this wireless printer on my laptop (windows vista basic). I run through installation and get message - installation complete and the green indicator light is fully on. When I try and print I get message Printer cannot communicate with computer - please turn on 'Enable Biodirectional Communication' in printer properties. I go to control panel/printer/propertie/ports/ and I see Enable Biodirectional communication - the box is grayed out and I cannot enable it. Any suggestions?

Please get the correct driver here : www.printcountry.com/drivers.asp

Connecting to a Router
1. 1 Check if your printer is network ready. Many newer models are designed to work on networks. Examine the documentation to see if your printer supports Wi-Fi (802.11x) or Bluetooth.
   
2. 2 Add network support to your printer. If your printer is not already wireless you can connect it to a wireless router using the RJ-45 Jack (it resembles a large telephone jack). You can also buy an expansion card that will add a jack or buy an external print server that will connect to the USB or parallel port.
   
3. 3 Connect your printer to the network. If your printer is not wired, you'll have to connect it directly to your wireless router. Connect a networking cable from the RJ-45 Jack on the printer (or adapter) to the router. Plug it into any jack except the UPLINK. The printer should automatically connect to the network when turned on.
   
4. 4 Install printer drivers on all computers. Using the disc that came with the printer or drivers downloaded from the manufacturer, install the printer's drivers onto each computer on the network.
   
5. 5 Print. You should be able to access the printer just like any other wireless device. Select the printer from the Print menu when you print.
   

Hi,

You can download the installation software from manufacturer's support website by clicking this link

On the page which opens, select the operating system of your computer (Windows Xp/ Vista..) from the drop-down menu. Then download the required software. (See attached image)



The list of available software will load only after selecting the operating system of the computer.

Hope this solves your problem. Thanks for using FixYa

check to ensure u have placed the catridges correctly

all I can think of is make sure that your printer is up and online before you turn on your computer.
and
depending on what operating system your are using, you can go to mycomputer and right click on it go to properties in new window click on it, then goto device manager and click on it.
Device manager lists all the devices that the operating system sees. If you have an explenation mark next to the printer, you may have to locate the printer driver and left click it should drop down the printer driver, then right click on the printer driver then click properties and look at the driver specifics. If it is not the new driver you can uninstall or update and install the correct printer driver. After you make a correction restart your computer, and it should see the printer.

Locate your printer in your OS and right click on it and select as default.
