Make sure the print queue is ready to print Make sure the printer is set as the default printer and is not being held or paused. Printer is trying to print to File If the computer is sending the print jobs to File rather than to the printer connected to the computer, first make sure the printer is attached with a USB cable to a USB port on the computer. To verify the USB port: 1 In Windows Vista, click Control Panel Printers (under Hardware and Sound). In Windows XP, click Start Settings Printers and Faxes. 2 Right-click the Lexmark 4800 Series icon. 3 From the sidebar menu, select Properties. 4 Click the Ports tab. 5 Make sure: • The port is set to a USB port. • File is not set as the port. If the document still does not print, then the USB port may not be enabled in the computer. For more information, see the related topic, "Enabling the USB port."
