I have a dell computer Inspiron and a Lexmark Interpret S405 printer that won't work

Hello ?,
 
Welcome to the Webroot Community.
 
Do you have the correct driver for your printer?
Lexmark divers are available here:
http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=driverSupport&locale=en&userlocale=EN_US
 
Choose your printer, operating system, etc..
 
If you still are experiencing  problem please let us know.
 
Thanks,

? what OS are you running on the Inspiron & how did you connect it? USB or via a network interface?
 
Does your OS detect the printer or not? What driver version do you have installed...
 
Do you get any errors in the eventviewer.... Details pls. I've installed & configured a fair share of Lexmark printers on a network printserver and if you hook them up correctly & configure them right they should not cause any issues.
