Got a new computer and the printer may not be set up correctly its not working

1) Make sure the wireless setting on your network are the same for both the computer and printer.
2) If wireless is correct, suggest you connect the printer with a USB cable and go through the setup process for the printer from new.
3) If you tried both above, test your printer with the self test (see printer directions for how)

go to the menu that is likely located on the printer and scroll through the menu until you get to printer settings, then select the tab that say ink cartridge or something to that extent. and tell the printer that you have installed a new cartridge. Another thing to check to make sure its the correct cartridge size installed. and you have to correct drivers for the printer to operate with your computer.

After installing the printer and the software you must reboot the computer to register the hardware changes. After booting up open your "printers" from the Control Panel or Start "settings - printers".
Make sure that the printer is listed. If it is listed, right click on it and select "properties". Now the printer control panel will come up. Select - "Print test page". If the software and cables are installed correctly the printer will be listed and it will print the test page.
In the same way, with a right click on the printer you can select to make it your "Default" printer.

New operating systems will see the new hardware and offer to install it for you. If you say yes and OK the computer will do an internet search and it should find the correct drivers for your operating system. If it does not find the correct drivers for your operating system you may have to the companies web page and select support - downloads and find your correct driver.

The Print Diagnostic Utility diagnoses and resolves common printing problems and communication problems, including:

If you prefer, you can skip this information and go directly to downloading the tool .

• Connectivity :
  • USB: Ensures that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
  • Network: Ensures that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly. If the tool detects a network connectivity problem, you will be prompted to run the HP Network Diagnostic Utility for better results.
• Spooler : Automatically restarts the print spooler, which sends print jobs from the computer to the product, if it has been stopped.
• Online status : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
• Device manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
• Print queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
• Port : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
• Driver : Checks for alternate-driver settings.
• Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
• Default printer : Checks the default printer setting and prompts to select the HP product as default (optional).

Either set the new router to the old router's IP, SSID, channel, key, etc. Or set the print server to the new router's network, SSID, channel, key, etc.

Hello, hope i can help. Glad you tried all these things. Sorry they did not help. Is the printer set as the defaukt printer in your settings. Sometimes this can be the isue. You should have an icon for your printer in my computer. Right click on it and go to properties. Is the printer set to work offline?? This can affect printing too. If this does not help, you need to check if it is installed correctly by going to control panel, selecting system, then hardware, then device manager for printer and scroll down list and make sure it says it is working correctly, with no exclamation marks or errors. If you find some, you need a new driver from lexmark website. If no errors, we need to look at further issues then. Good luck, post back if not resolved please. Cheers lilacgerry

First of, the ethernet must be 'on'. If dhcp available, set it to auto (or dhcp.. anyways..) and let it reboot, just in case :)
if not, try setting the IP-setting yourself. They should be somewhat similar to the settings on your local computer(s).

To add the printer to your computer, select 'Local' printer and specify 'tcp/ip' as which port its connected to. In the new window the ip to the printer should be entered. :) (at least for XP this is..)

Hope this gave you the correct solution..

it's not unusual to get an older set of drivers with a new computer. See if new drivers from here work for you
