Okay if your using windows OS go to control panel , then printer and fax icon open it you will see Lexmark printer series listed right click on it and go to printing preference tab ,uncheck print all documents in black and white click okay and then try to print....

re-install the printer with take care of communication port,

hi!there might be some documents in queue for printing..you will have to click on the print icon at the right lower screen and then cancel all the printing..sometimes this doesnt work so you will have to restart the printer and system,the printer for a couple of times..the print icon should disappear..also another possible source of error is when you print a word document and dont give the option of current page or page number...
hope it helps!

my printer does not print, but tells me i have prints pending

actually, you need to run a test alignment page from the printer menu or if you have the lexmark print manager, you might be able to do it from there..
