I have two printers connected to my computer, an HP 3020 laserjet on
the parallel port and a Lexmark z705 on USB. I can use both, but not at
the same time. To use the Lexmark/USB, I have to disconnect the HP and
reboot.
If I try to print to the Lexmark/USB when the HP is connected, I get an
error message saying Problem Communicating with the Printer.
I went through the steps of Troubleshooting the printer from Device
Manager and it said to Uninstall and reinstall all printer software.
I uninstalled the Lexmark software and reinstalled it. The
reinstallation stoped at the "Print Alignmet Page" step, when it gave
the error message "Printer not currently communicating".
Other Details:
- Windows XP Home SP1
- Dell Dimension 3000 Celeron 2.4 GHz, 512 MB RAM
