After lots of problems with using my Lexmark x2250 and Windows Vista, I had the printer working fine.

Now every time I try to print I get a Communication Not Available message. I have tried downloading the latest drivers. If I try to uninstall the printer software, I get a message that I have to wait until the printer is finished with its current job! Under Task Manager, nothing from the printer is listed as being currently processed.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

I'd try to restore the printer to defaults, and then re-boot your PC. This is from the Lexmark site on how to reset a 4250 to factory defaults. Hope this helps:
How to Restore the Factory Defaults on the Lexmark X4250/X4270 ID:ENUS13875

1. Press the Copy button on the operator panel.
2. Press the Options button until SET DEFAULTS: Use Factory is displayed, then press Select.
3. Select the settings you require as follows:

LANGUAGE? Press the right arrow key to select the language you want to use, and then press Select.

COUNTRY CODE: Press the right arrow key to select the country you will be using the printer in, and then press Select.

ENTER DATE: Using the date format dd/mm/yy (in the USA, mm/dd/yy), press Select.

ENTER TIME: Using the format hh:mm, press Select.
Select Format: Press the appropriate number to choose between 1=12hr 2=24hr.

PERSONALIZE FAX: Press Select.
Enter Name: Type in the sender name and press Select.
Enter Fax Number: Type in the number of the phone line to which the printer will be connected, and then press Select.

Good luck,
