First, see if checking the list on page 11 solves the problem.

Make sure the printer is set to use the correct port.

If your printer is connected to your computer with a USB cable, the printer should be using a USB port such as usb-lexmark_z55 or USB001.

If your printer is connected to your computer with a parallel cable (Windows 95, 98, Me, and NT 4.0 only), the printer should be using an LPT port such as LPT1.

To check the printer port and change it, if necessary, follow the steps for your operating system.
