Windows XP/Lexmark problem
I am running Windows XP (have been since I bought PC) and a Lexmark X125 all-in-one printer. It worked fine for a while, but stopped printing. The icon at bottom of screen no longer has a diamond, now has a red "X". Have uninstalled and reinstalled soft
ware several times. When I do this, printer will work a few days then quit again. Once when reinstalling, I was told the software was not compatible with Windows XP and the driver was not digitally signed. I downloaded a supposedly compatible and signed driver from windows website, worked a few days, then quit again. I am at my wit's end. I can't keep uninstalling/reinstalling every few days to use my printer. Please, someone help. Where can I find a driver that is compatible and digitally signed. I 'm pulling my hair out here. HELP!!!! |

Windows XP/Lexmark problem
How about the lexmark site, since you didn't mention any detail like where
you got your supposedly compatible driver: http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-per...ategory=Driver And to uninstall completely follow Bruces site, pay attention about lexmark printers towards bottom of page: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm "Miki Finn" wrote in message ...

HELP!!!! I know how you feel. Your lexmark will work. Tis solution has been posted pris group and worked for us. After a clean un-install, which hopefully you've done (if not read this http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/Clea...erDrivers.htm. ) Then, check to make sure the USB port is powered http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp Download the driver for win XP http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi Follow the instructions to the letter. Do everything exactly as directed, especially with disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable. Then read this next article and change the settings and see what you get: posted on 4/21/04 *Lexmark suggested that I change the print processor to WinPrint and *set the default data type to NT EMF 1.008 *the world is a much better place. not only are jobs deleted from the *spool but they also go to the printer faster (because not as large) *Perhaps I may have gotten to this on my own but I've simply never had *to deal with print spool issues so I've never investigated processor *and data types - I can't remember the last time I even looked at these *settings. Ah well, more wisdom for me I guess. This is where you do the trial and error thing *I have an X83. I hadn't been able to print for 2 weeks. I opened *printers and faxes, right-clicked on Lexmark X83, properties, clicked *the advanced tab, clicked Print Processor, changed the Print Processor *to WinPrint and tried the default data type NT EMF 1.008: nothing *happened. That was good because nothing froze, no error messages. So *I tried 1.007, and again nothing happened when I tried to print a test *page from the General tab. But oh Boy! When I entered NT EMF 1.006 *and hit print test page from the General tab, this old X83 started *printing like nobody's biznuss. Hope it helps...let me know |
