another can't connect to printer error

There are other can't connect to printer error topic's in this newsgroup ,but
from what I understand it are all network printer error's

Now I am having the same error ,only my printer is directly connected to my
PC by USB port

Im using Vista Netherlands edition and I got Vista to understand the XP
drivers of the Lexmark printer (last driver from Lexmark) (run driver as
XPSP2 driver an as administrator etc)
by the wat ,the printer is a Lexmark X2250 ,probably easy to know

And yes ,Vista "sees" the printer ,it reconizes the printer ,but when I try
to print or run a diagnostic on the printer it says "can't communicate with
printer"

Is there a way to solve this ??
Vista has got the printer seen on a USB port (port USB2) so to my knowlege
that checks out
And the printer is configured as default printer

So anybody has any suggestion as what I can try to get it working ??
