try another printer cable to eliminate it being bad
I have a lexmark x-83 4 in 1 printer/scanner/copier/fax machine that was hooked-up before to my IBM thinkpad with xp pro pentium 111 laptop and since a friend had crashed my comp. I can not get it hooked up again. What am I doing wrong? I put in the discs and follow the instructions and then put in the other disc and follow those in structions and it just won't recognize the lexmark. It says" problems communicating with the printer" I have done everything the same as before my laptop had crashed(and I had no problem having it work then)and I just do not know what to do. HELP ME PLEASE SOMEONE!!!!!!
