Does an error message appear on the computer screen?

  • Anonymous Sep 16, 2008

    there could be a number of reasons. have you tried the following?

    1) disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable
    2) using another USB cable - perhaps a shorter and newer one
    3) plugging the cable into another USB port on the computer
    4) removing the power supply from the back of the printer and then plugging it in again (make sure the printer is disconnected and turned off when you do this)
    5. enabling the USB port on the cmomputer

Changed the ink cartridge and now the printer doesn't recognize the computer.It says the printer is idle. What do I do?

A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Simply disconnect the printer from your computer (if USB connected)> reboot your pc > unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer (if USB connected). Then try to print again once the computer fully recognizes the USB connection or when the WiFi light on the printer turns solid green (if WiFi connected.).


If that doesn't help, try the steps below:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer from your computer.
  2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
  3. Delete the Lexmark print object.
  4. Reboot computer.
  5. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - black box where the power cord is plugged into on the back of the printer, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
  6. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to the computer.
  7. Wait until your computer fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list, try to print a document to verify that the problem is fixed.
