1. Reinstall the drivers.
If that doesn't help:
2. Remove the printer from Device Manager, then reboot and follow the installation instruction that came with the printer.
If that doesn't help:
3. Install the printer on another computer to see if it might be a problem with the printer in stead of with the system.

I connected a Lexmark Printer Z23 to the computer and it was recognized and then "something" changed and now the printer is not recognized. There is also a HP 1120C printer connected so I print to that printer - but I would like to use the Lexmark. What setting do I need to check and how?? I am using Windows XP Professional as the OS.
