Lexmark Says "Can't Commuinicate" ... but I can still print

Sounds like the usual problem that some people confront when they migrate
from parallel port to USB port printers.
I presume you're on XP so go to
START
PRINTERS & FAXES
right click & select properties for the printer.
Click on PORTS
Make sure you select USB & not LPT or COM port.
Any better?

I just bought a replacement black 48 cartridge for my Lexmark Z705 Ink-jet
printer. This printer uses USB. Since the software installed does not
recognize the printer being connected, how can I "Align Cartridges"

It was already set to USB. Thanks anyway...

I've had intermittent problems with USB, which disappeared when I took
Lexmark's suggestion and conected to a USB port on the computer and not
via a hub. Something to do with the little bit of extra voltage making
communication more secure, I think.
