How to configure Lexmark E120 laser printer for Vista?

I just bought the E120 today. Salesman didn't tell me the USB cord needed to be bought separately, so I've used the cord from my LaCie HDD to connect it to my PC. Installation CD wouldn't work, so I downloaded the drivers from the Lexmark website. It seems to have installed properly, but when I try to print anything, it doesn't seem to send to the printer. When I open the Printers status, it says "Error - Printing" or "Error - Sent to printer". I can print a test page using the button on the printer, but can't print one using a computer command. Could it be because of the USB connection? Or can you suggest anything I can do to fix it? The Lexmark support is closed until tomorrow morning and my father needs some things printed urgently. Thanks so much to anyone who answers! Completely blanked on the fact it was an E120n, as I only looked at exterior of printer, not box. Installed drivers for E120n, and it worked. Geh. Silly mistake. Thanks for helping though! You can have best answer, Katja, once I can choose.

1. The USB cable is not the problem I think. try clicking on File atthe top and see whether the option "Use printr OFF-LINE" is on, if so, click to clear the checkmark. I found that a few times and thereafter it worked. Only thing I can suggest. Please let me know whether it works.
