Lexmark Z42

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I have a Lexmark Z42 printer that I would like to keep on as a secondary
printer. But, it has stopped communicating with my PC. The USB connection
doesn't work although other USB devices will run fine off of the port. I
tried hooking up the printer with standard (ECP) parallel port cable but
still get the communication error (failure).

The printer was working off of the USB port. I started getting a message
that the computer wasn't communicating with the printer. I tried a
different USB cable with the same results. Then I reconfigured it for the
parallel printer port and got the same thing. I suspect the problem must be
in the printer itself. I checked all cables and ports on the PC with other
USB and parallel devices and everything works fine.
