    trying to print

    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?

    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.

    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.
