I recently installed a lexmark z645 on a new computer equipped with Windowss
Vista home basic, and have not been able to use the printer. When I click on
the print icon in Microsoft works, the machine does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and
when I try top print a test page from the device manager, I get error code
0x0000000d. any suggestions?

Re: trying to print

According to the Lexmark website the driver for the z645 on Vista "will
become available." You may want to keep an eye on their web site.

Re: trying to print

Dan is correct on this, most of the XP drivers that Lexmark have don't
function properly on Vista unless they came with the OS

error d (13 for the rest of the world)
ERROR_INVALID_DATA

I don't see a Test Page button available in Device Manager. I assume you
mean the Printers Folder.
