Certainly you can connect a printer locally (which means directly
attached to the computer) with a USB cable. Certainly you can have only
the single printer. Of course you must have the correct drivers for any
printer. Did you go to Lexmark's tech support site and get drivers for
your printer? Is your model supported in Vista?
