I've BOUGHT one of these and tried to use it on a new Mesh computer that has Vista. I've connected it with a USB cable and the cartridges and paper are in place. However when i try to print a test page i get an error message saying there is a problem in communication between the computer and the printer.

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance.wow you must be kidding. we got the same problem posted around the same time only the printers are different. Yeah i've read your post. Do you think it's a problem with Vista or the printer?yeah it has to be vista. it worked fine when I had windows 2000 and windows XP before and other people have problems with compatability with vista. Well that's annoying because on the printer box it has a sticker saying that it's compatible with Vista. I think i'll contact Microsoft and ask them.I was going to ask how old your printer is because I have an HP 825C printer that I know will not work with Vista because I searched on the HP website for drivers and it SAID this printer is discontinued. I see that you said the box shows it's Vista compatible THOUGH. Have you searched on Lexmark's website for updated drivers? Did this printer ever work with Vista? If it never did, maybe you need to wait and eventually Microsoft or Lexmark will make a driver for it. Either way, it's pretty CRAPPY that Vista doesn't work with a lot of hardware items. That's the way Microsoft is helping other companies make money by making the rest of us buy new hardware because the old isn't compatible.
Anyway, I hope you get your printing working one way or another!Thanks for your reply.

I've DOWNLOADED and installed a new driver from the Lexmark website and i've got the printer working now.
