turn off my computer to get it to work again. I have windows xp and share

I dont know how to check that. I did go to the device manager and the usb
root hub power management has no buttons selected.

First thing I would do is uninstall and reinstall the printer....

Lexmark also has a special uninstall utility on their website.

Then reinstall, making sure you have the latest drivers. Also check your
USB cable.
