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.
1. Go to:http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=en&segment=DOWNLOAD&startover=y&userlocale=EN_US&question=Z845&productCode=LEXMARK_Z845&page=answers&detectedProductFacet=CMS-CATEGORY_REF.LEXMARK.PRODUCTS.CONSUMER_INKJET.LEXMARK_Z845&searchid=1259782678302#3 2. Click on the appropriate link to download the drivers that suit your operating system.
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).

Lexmark Z11, Z12, Z22 & Z32, Z31, Z42, Z51, Z52 - work with pre-installed drivers
Lexmark Color Jet 3200, 5700 - work with pre-installed drivers
Go to www.lexmark.com and click on DRIVERS AND DOWNLOADS. Then use the DRIVER FINDER. In SEARCH BY MODEL, type in 845 and you can choose a driver from there.
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").
