Hi creator,
              Thanks for your help,got all done as you requested,the printer 
is connected through the USB port,been having major probs with this one,had a 
diagnostic check done by Lexmark and they told me it was a firewall problem? 
not anything to do after another check was done then they said it is an issue 
with microsoft and that the spooler was NOT running,contact microsoft and 
they would assist with the correct updates,well, they were not much help this 
is why I came to communities.
                 Done all as you suggested and I am now being told that 
theprinter cannot communicate with the printer,this is after the user details 
window appears and that I should connect  to the FAX modem!! I pointed out 
that the printer worked initially with out being connected to 'fax' modem,now 
I have got you to answer the last 2 questions can you figure out why the 
printer will not print,the printer never needed to find the modem when newly 
installed,total mystery,anyway thanks for your help,much appreciated
regards
aga
