I had a problem with mine also. It kept giving me an unsupported cartridge error. I finally took it back to the store and exchanged it. The replacement works fine.

SOURCE: Printer installed fine, won't print. Error code 0x0000007e?????

First make certain a USB cable is attached to your printer and to your USB. The windows install device will tell you it has located new equipment and ask if you want Windows to install it. If you didn't go through this before, allow Windows to install it. Use the disk that came with the printer if you have it. (Make sure the drivers on the disk will run on Vista. The disk should tell you. Lexmark 7100 series was introduced a ways back).

If you've gone through this, and you know it is installed correctly, with the proper drivers, go to "Control Panel". Choose Device manager, and click open "Ports (Com &LPT).

Choose Communications Port (Com 1). Opening that will give you the Properties page. Click Resources at the top of the page. About halfway down the page will be a small box that says "Use Automatic Settings". Make sure this is clicked. It gives Window permission to find and use the best generic drivers for your printer, among other things.

At the bottom should be another box entitled Conclicting Device List.
It should say in the box "No Conflicts." Click OK to exit that box if all is well. Next, go back to Control Panel again. Look for and choose "Printers". Among other selections, you should see an icon of a printer that says Lexmark 7100 series. That should have a big green checkmark by it in a circle. If it doesn't, click on the icon and a small box will open in the upper left hand corner.

It should say "Lexmark 7100 Series". If it does, click on Printer, then click add as default printer. Then when you close the box you shouls see the icon marked Lexmark 7100 series, with the green checkmark inside a circle.

If you don't see all these things wirite back and we will take the next step.

Uninstall and do another installation.

I have a wireless Z2420 printer and it will not print off my computer??? it was printing yesterday

A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Reboot your pc. Unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, try to print again to verify that the communication is back.

My z2420 only prints headerand footers, no web page content.

Hi Jenna,
I Think, the drivers or system of most printers today are not yet supported the most scripting the web developers used now a days.
I suggest to select all the contents of the web pages or even the particular one and paste it to MS Word and ever some editing if needed before you it.
We encounter it most of the time, my work place. I Hope this Tips works well for you.
If you have some extra time please rate it. Thank You. Have a nice day.

Paper is getting jammed hence not printing

Sounds like somthing is caught in the left hand side try looking in it with a flashlight and see if you can see somthing stuck like a twistie tie/sticky label/ staple / sticky tape.... If its in far try using a ruler or a few pieces of paper stacked together to dislodge it.
