Hi, I just got a Dell Dimension 4300 with Win Xp. I also bought a Lexmark X83 (a usb connection only printer). My problem is that although it works ok when first booted, if I log in as another user by using the fast-user switching feature,I then get a "failure to communicate with the printer" error. Sometimes I can unplug and re-plug the usb cable on both ends and it will work or else I must restart the computer to re-establish communications. Lexmark support was no help, they advised to simply restart the computer to change users. I have tried uninstalling and installing the updated drivers from Lexmark, but the behavior remains. Does anyone have any ideas or should I start looking for another printer?
