Communication error Lexmark X6675

[kspeel]

I am running windows 8 evaluation copy. It says the device is working and checked and this printer is compatible with windows 8. I have disconnected everything possible and also removed device but still cannot get this printer to work. I don't think it is a windows problem but problibly device issue. The wi fi symbol on the printer is solid orange. It is connected directly into pc with usb. Will take any kind of help here. Just want to cover all issues before I go buy new one. Also got error once about turning on bi-directional communication.

... The wi fi symbol on the printer is solid orange. It is connected directly into pc with usb.

Orange LED is irrelevant if using USB connection.

... Also got error once about turning on bi-directional communication.

State complete error message.

I seriously doubt that Lexmark, (or anyone else for that matter), will ever create "An Illustrated Windows 8 Evaluation Version Troubleshooting Guide for the Lexmark X6675".

the error just says:
communication not available
the printer cannot communicate with the computer

If SpywareDr's suggestion still does not resolve the issue,

Install the most current Windows 7 drivers for your mobo, especially the chipset.
