View Single Post - Trying to print from a Dell Inspiron 1525

Hoping I can get some help here. I am hooking my Dell Inspiron 1525 up to my printer which is a Lexmark Z725. I am hooking it up using the usb cable. The error message I am getting when I try to print is "Communication Not Available, The Printer Cannot Communicate with the Computer, Please turn on Enable Bidirectional Communication setting in the printer properties dialog."

I do not see where to turn that on at in the print properties. I have the latest driver downloaded for the printer and I am using Vista. It use to work just fine when I would print from this laptop but about a week ago it just stopped working.

Thanks in advance
