Digital line?. did just get ADSL? ( Phone internet?) if you did you need an ADSL filter for the telephone outlet. If you haven't changed any telephone service or provider and the line is static call your phone company it could be a short.

Does your digital line require you to use a "Signal Splitter" if so, are you using it? Have you got your Phone cord plugged into the correct socket at the rear? Just a thought.

Troubleshooting checklist
When your All-In-One has a problem, before contacting Lexmark Customer Support, check the following items:
Is the power supply firmly attached to your All-In-One and a properly functioning electrical outlet?
Are both your All-In-One and computer on?
Is your USB cable securely attached to your All-In-One and to your computer or Lexmark adapter?
Are any error messages displayed on the control panel? For help, see All-In-One displays error messages.
Did you remove the sticker and transparent tape from the back and bottom of both print cartridges?
Did you install the print cartridges correctly? For help, see Replacing the print cartridges.
Is the paper loaded correctly? Make sure you do not push the paper too far into the All-In-One. For help, see Loading plain paper into the paper support.
Is your operating system compatible with your All-In-One? The Lexmark 4200 Series supports these operating systems:
Windows 98
Windows Me
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Did you install the All-In-One software correctly?
From your desktop, click Start Programs or All Programs.
If Lexmark 4200 Series does not appear in your list of programs, install the All-In-One software.
Is the All-In-One set as the default printer?
To set the All-In-One to be the default printer:
Click Start Settings Printers.
Right-click the Lexmark 4200 Series and make sure that Set as Default is selected.
If you are using your All-In-One with your computer, is your All-In-One connected directly to your computer? If it is connected through an external device, such as a USB hub or switch box, follow these steps:
Disconnect your All-In-One from any external devices.
Connect your All-In-One directly to your computer with a USB cable.
Follow these instructions to print a test page.
Open the Lexmark Solution Center. For help, see Using the Lexmark Solution Center.
From the Maintenance tab, click Print a Test Page.
If the test page prints, the problem may be with your external devices, not your All-In-One. Check the documentation that came with your external devices for help.
If the test page does not print, refer to the All-In-One software Help for further troubleshooting information.

I was wondering if you have changed your phone company in the past 12 months ?.
possibly that but it realy sounds like your modem has gone west .
Unfortunately these units are so cheap now its not really worth the effort of a repair
economicaly , I have seen them on the internet for as litlle as $10 thats £5 in our money .
A repair is going to cost you quadruple that ?.
