A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved
by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Frequently, issues are caused
simply by a break in the signal sent from PC to printer or vice versa.
Unplugging and re-plugging the printer allows the small amount of on-board
memory on the printer to be cleared, with the result that the PC recognizes the
machine properly. Programs continuing to run in the background of the operating
system (OS) can cause the signal to be lost. Rebooting the PC ends all programs
that may be running and makes a 'clean' start, allowing the signal to be
detected. This could also be a firewall issue. Make sure to allow full access to all Lexmark and printer communications in the program rules/permissions for your firewall.
