I just installed Windows 7 upgrade from VIsta and now my Lexmark X4530 printer will not work. Computer shows printer there and functioning correct but when i try to print i get a notice cant communicate with the printer. I have tried installing the Win 7 drivers from M$ about 10 times now and same crap. It said something about bidirectional communication but that is turned on. Said something about firewall. I use the newest Zone Alarm that is supposed to work with Win 7. I even tried with ZA turned off still no dice. I did get the scanner to scan a document but i cant print. Im about to get the BFH to fix the computer.

Try getting drivers for the printer from the manufacturer's web site.

Have you tried removing the printer, unplugging the cable and letting windows find it as new equipment and install default drivers for it?

They have a special notice about Windows 7 up on their page.  Might want to check it out.

I downloaded the cjb file for Win 7 32 bit which is correct version and i tried uninstalling it but then installed the printer with the downloaded drivers. i will try just having Windows detect the printer in the morning. My boy is sleeping and it might wake him up now. Thanks for the quick replies.

Sometimes it's the order of when things get powered up.

Try turning on the printer first and then booting the computer. The try reversing the order.
