A friend has a Lexmark Z605 or Lexmark Z608 (can't remember which) USB Printer.

Having trouble printing and gettting "unable to communicate with printer audio messages" or something like that when he tries.
It works occasionally after rebooting and prints.

Sometimes an option called printer offline or similar is automatically being checke off also. Opening printer properties while something is printed stops the printer and the print job. Cannot restart the print job nor resume the print job and messages related to printing keep popping up at the wrong time.
