• Lexmark Interpret S405 is not communicating with the computer and will not print

  My computer works with Windows 7 and updates automatically.  I got the Lexmark Interpret S405 for 18 months, and it has worked great until a couple of months.  When I try to print, I get an error message indicating that the printer is not communicating with the computer.  When I check the printer, it shows he's ready.  The print job shows that it is ready to print, but nothing happens except for this message.  When I try to erase the impression, it really takes a lot of time - usually have to unplug the printer so that it can finally clear.  Then it still will not print if I try again unless I restart the computer.  Lexmark support page says that there is a problem with Windows 7 and their product.  All the solutions for this problem yet?

  Computer model of the bridge ZX6970, OS 64-bit, intel CORE CPU I-13 3.30 GHz, Windows 7 Home Premium.  Can someone advise a fix for this problem?  Thank you!

  I have a Lexmark Pinnacle Pro 901 printer I bought at the office supply store there are several moonths. I hung it, and it worked for a short period, then I got a screen prompt saying that there is no connection between the printer and the computer. I was on the phone and even authorized Lexmark technicians to have remote access to the computer 2 times. I've been on the phone with them about 10 times and had even them I would send printer back and they sent me new printer. I even had a friend local tech come and he has reinstalled printer drivers, each time, that it's the same thing, printer will work for one or two jobs and then stops printing. I can still make copies and yesterday I scanned and sent by e-mail a document, the Green WIFI light is on. I'm so frustrated that I just want to get rid of this printer. Help!

  Unplug the printer.

  Download and run the patch (cleaning printer utility) until it prompts you to restart your computer.

  Go to each USB hub root and right-click on it, on the left, click Properties, on the left, click power management. Uncheck the allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
