My X73 Printer freezes up!!!
My Lexmark printer will freeze up in the middle of a page. Never the same place but maybe the 1st page or even the 2nd page. I have made contact with Lexmark support but we haven't resolved the problem. This has been going on for some time now. I have unin
stalled & reinstalled several times plus system restore and who knows what else. I'm connected via the USB port on my Windows XP home edition. |

I have uninstalled & reinstalled several times But have you done so /properly/? Suggest you follow Cari's instructions here www.coribright.com/windows, click the first button and follow the instructions *EXACTLY*. Do *NOT* omit Step 4. Is this a new computer or did you upgrade? If the latter, you probably left the printer connected whilst upgrading and you've corrupted the driver. |

My X73 Printer freezes up!!!
Xref: kermit microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax:56839
posted on 4/21/04 in microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax "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." 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 this helps if you're still needing it On Sun, 25 Apr 2004 11:31:02 -0700, Headstone wrote: My Lexmark printer will freeze up in the middle of a page.
