I have a vista toshiba wireless laptop and a wirless lexmark x4650 printer, my internet is through a wirless WLAN router. The problem is when i try and print from my laptop the printer starts to print then stops and the wireless connection to the printer and internet disconnects.Any help would be great as it is now driving me up the wall.

You can download the drivers for your Lexmark X4650 at www.Lexmark.com. Just choose the Operating System of your computer.

The blinking WiFi light on your printer indicates either your printer is trying to communicate with your wireless network or your printer is not connected at all. For a quick fix, try to disconnect your printer from the power outlet. Power cycle your router and reboot your computer. Then, power on your router first, then your printer and lastly your computer. Check the WiFi light on your printer. If it goes to a solid green, that means you are connected back in your network. If not, you may reset your printer's wireless network adapter to its default settings. From the printer operator panel, press the Setup button > Network Setup > Reset Network Adapter to Default. The WiFi light on your printer will momentarily turn off then back on solid orange. Then try to run the Lexmark Wireless Setup Utility on your computer to reconfigure your printer to connect to your wireless network.
I hope this helps.

No, just plug it in with a USB cable, any printers that offer WIFI will also work with a cable

Did you define the printers and printer ports to the laptops?


On the XP laptop go to network connections in the control panel and use the network setup wizard.

I have the same problem with the same two products ... and I use a Mac. D-Link says it's the printer and Lexmark wants to charge $3.99 per tech support call ... when the deign to provide tech support at all (dramatically limited hours). Solution: Throw the printer away and start again.

if you connect your xbox and it works than it is not your isp

go to your network setup and try it with fix ip and DNS to you vista laptop wirless card /fixed card ip setup

goodl luck get back if this does not work with more info on your network setup

Your firewall for the wireless is blocking the port. Go into your firewall settings and add the port from the printer to bypass the router. What operating system do you have? It should be in Control Panel under Security Center.
Let me know.

I would take that printer back. I do not know which store you bought it from, but from my troubleshooting experience rule out that it is in fact not the printer. Another one taken through the same paces will tell you that. Then you know that it is something outside that printer or some question or parameter not answered right during the installation process. Good luck and God bless.

• i have the same problem

Your computer sounds like it is joining the network that the printer is broadcasting
