I just did about 2 minutes of research on the issue and the general consensus is that your printer is too old (10 years?), and Vista does not/will not recognize it. Buy a new printer. You can pick up a respectable but basic ink jet for under $50. As you can see from this list, Lexmark fails to list your model as "Vista-compatible": http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/sequentialem/home/0,6959,204816596_924205346_924205387_en,00.html. Blame Lexmark, not Vista. They no longer support the product.
