I installed Windows 7 and now I have no connection to the computer. The printer is connected to the router but won't communicate with the HP G60t-200.

Try to remove the existing printer driver from your computer. Go to Start > Programs > Lexmark Z2400 Series > Tools > Uninstall. Your computer will then uninstall the Lexmark program. After the uninstall process, reboot pc when prompted.
When your pc turns on, check if your operating system is running on 32-bit or 64-bit. Go to Start > right-click on Computer > click on Properties. Take note of the System Type.
Use the link below to re-install the Lexmark Z2400 Series printer driver: - Lexmark Z2400 Series driver for Windows 7 32-bit - Lexmark Z2400 Series driver for Windows 7 64-bit
Download and execute the file. Simply follow the instructions on your computer screen.
I hope this helps.

Lexmark X8350 "communication not available"

I fixed this by completely uninstalling the Lexmark software, then unplugging the USB and restarting. I then installed the new Lexmark software that I downloaded from their site, make sure not to plug the USB back in until it told me to. It then detected the printer properly and started working.

If you have an XP OS, click START Menu then click "Printers and Faxes". A window will open with a list of printers installed in your computer. Right Click the printer icon for your 8300 printer then select properties. Go to "Ports" Tab, you will see the check box for "Enable bidirectional support".
