First thing I would do is uninstall and reinstall the printer....
http://www.coribright.com/windows/Article%20One.htm Lexmark also has a special uninstall utility on their website. Then reinstall, making sure you have the latest drivers. Also check your USB cable. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging "lexmark x85 printer problems" om wrote in message ... I dont know how to check that.
