lexmark X85
I just fought with this issue for 2 days on one of my clients
computers. Lexmark was ZERO help to me, thanks for nothing there ... Here is the solution I found: System is as follows ASUS P4P800-VM 256MB DDR400 Celeron 1.8 WinXP HE Lexmark X85 I tried just about everything that was suggested to me by Lexmark, and everyone else, but the fixes would only last a short time ... then "Cannot Communicate with Printer" Please note that the following solution is a slightly generic approach to identifying programs that load themselves when booting. This autoloading seems to create a multitude of conflicts, and a clean boot is the best solution. What I did was ... 1) Rename the file MDM.exe to MDM.old (do a search for the file to find it) This is the Microsoft Debug Machine, and it will run automatically when you start Windows ... there is no way (that I know of) to stop it from running (besides renaming or deleting the .exe) 2) With the printer Uninstalled, fire up the msconfig (type in msconfig under the RUN prompt) choose Selective Startup, and then clear the Startup Group box. Restart the computer and run msconfig again. Note if the Startup Group box is still cleared ... if it is grayed, that means something has enabled itself again without asking permission. Look in the Startup Group tab to find out what it is, then search for it on the computer and rename it (or delete it) Once you are able to boot cleanly (nothing showing up in Startup Group under msconfig) install the X85 normally and have fun. Any questions, comments, or concerns ... feel free to respond Dan Snooks "beetlegeuse" wrote in message ...
