"problem communicating with the printer" error message
Every time I bring my computer out of standby mode and
try to print something... ANYTHING... I get the error message "Problem communicating with the printer" and the document won't print. I have a newer Dell desktop, Windows XP, and a Lexmark X83 printer/scanner/copier. I have tried reinstalling the printer software and driver, reconnecting the cables, and I have tried all the suggestions in troubleshooting. The ONLY thing that solves this problem is restarting the computer. Something happens when it goes into standby mode, but what? Please help. Lexmark technicians haven't been able to solve this problem via email, either. Thanks. Lisa |

"problem communicating with the printer" error message
If you're connecting through a USB port, check you don't have the USB
Controllers set to power down after time to save power. Right click on My Computer and select Properties. From the Hardware tab, select Device Manager. Scroll down until you see the USB Controllers..... click on the + to expand the tree. Right click on the USB Hub(s) and check their Power Management status.
