Lexmark Printer Problems by Linda (11/8/03 7:18 PM) +9 + / -
My printer Z12 Color Jetprinter is printing triple letters (printing on top of each other). Not sure why?


Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Rudy (11/8/03 8:32 PM) +5 + / -
The wrong cartridge is installed in the control program.
Go to control program and select color or black, new or used, close out and try a test page.
Lexmark tech support has this problem (as well as others) documented on their web site...keyed to your printer model (Z-12)

I had this same problem with my Lexmark z32 printer. I need a new ink cartridge, it was either dried up or out.
I bought a new ink cartridge and it worked perfect. Hope this helps.

I can't find who(Bert?)gave me good advice, but I want to thank them/her for taking the time to help me. Turned out the Lexmark Z32 color cartridge was leaking and showed 1/3 full when it was empty. Cleaned as instructed and put in New color cartridge. I am now one happy puppy. Thank you Big Time! John Hyde Sr.

Help! My z65 printer won't feed paper properly. When I go to print a document it feeds paper through without printing anything and then says load paper. I think its the paper sensor thats at fault. Can this problem be repaired or do I need a new printer?

I have a lexmark x73 and whenever I try to turn it on the catridges just bash themselves against the sides of the printer and the control panel tells me its having problems communicating with the printer.


Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by A V (4/20/04 7:52 PM) +10 + / -
My Lexmark Z43 has stopped printing in color. Black printing is OK. Problem ocurred after my color cartridge ran low on ink. I did two things. I removed the color cartridge and continued to print in black for several days. Then I refilled the color cartridge with color ink and got ink on the interior of the printer. I cleaned the ink off of the interior of the printer and installed a new color cartridge, but still no color. Color cartridge contacts are clean. There are no error messages. Running windows xp pro and usb cable. Port and drivers are OK. What can I do to fix the problem?

i just got a lexmark X63 printer from my father,how do i get the software from the enternet `


Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Dale (4/22/04 1:17 PM) + / -
My x63 processes the paper through like it is printing, but nothing is on the page -- neither black or color. Is this a clogged print-head problem? The ink reservoir indicators in the control panel indicate they are full.


Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Clem (4/24/04 8:15 AM) +1 + / -
Hardware Error: 0502.

On the multi function machine seems to be a coating on the metal rod that the cartridges travel on. Just wipe this rod with a kleenex and the problem seems to go away. Somehow it presents a drag on the cartridges and causes an error.

I have a Lexmark X73 printer & it has never worked on my e-machine????????????????????????
It will work on my Toshiba laptop but no matter what i do the e-machine/Lexmark X73 will not print to gether!

Thanks for any responses.

Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by charlotte (1/5/05 3:24 PM) +1 + / -
I had a Lexmark Z65 that the power cable (box) started buzzing then died. The cable is almost as expensive as the printer, so I just replaced the printer. I have read about this problem in several forums - I wonder if this is a defect Lexmark needs to address?? Anyone else with this problem?


Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by billo (1/5/05 8:26 PM) +4 + / -
I refilled the black cartridge with Sam's refill black ink.
Now the printer does not print black. Color is fine.
Does Lexmark use a special refil ink? Or does the printer have problem?

Did you ever get a solution to this problem? The same thing is happening with me. I've tried two different black cartridges and still no black. I'd appreciate anything you may have learned.
Thanks!


Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by UserFriendly (1/16/05 3:48 PM) +4 + / -
My sister has a Lexmark Z-43 and is running Windows ME. She doesn't have USB so her printer is connected via the old printer port.

Her printer has stopped printing, it used to work fine. I've updated and reinstalled the driver a number of times and it still does not work. The driver is fine and there is no error or conflict. I can get the printer to work if I am printing out a diagnostic sheet or cleaning it, but if I try to print a document (even from wordpad) it doesn't work. It will tell me the printing is complete when nothing has happened. It is set as the default printer in windows.

Does anyone have a clue what is going on? The lexmark site was of absolutely no help.



Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Krista (1/18/05 1:43 PM) + / -
My Lexmark Optra T612 started with a paper jam and now won't stop. I had to remove the flippy thing in back to get a paper jam out and now I think I am putting it back in the wrong way or something fell off. It won't automatically flip up when a paper is coming through, it just forces the paper up and jams on top. It's not being sent through after printing.
YIPES! I can't find a diagram anywhere.

I did the same thing (buy the Sam's Club refill kit) and my black ink won't print either. I've just spent most of the morning trying to drill holes in the top of my color cartridge too because it wouldn't come off. I hope we can both find an answer to this one soon!

I have a t522 printer with 2 trays (not a duplex). Paper from tray 1 feed and prints great. Paper from tray 2 jams in the machine after printing about 3/4 of the page, and if you look a second page is trying to feed for the bottom tray(tray 2) Any suggestions? Could it be the autocomp in 2nd tray?

I have a Lexmark X85 and got a new Toshiba laptop. Downloaded driver off the Lex Website. "problems communicating with the printer" and won't print. When I reboot computer it goes into recognizing new hardware and I go into a vicious circle where it says it is already installed. Still won't print. Anyone know what to do next?

I have a Z65 printer. The printer error message reads: Printer cannot communicate with PC. The cables are connected and the printer is plugged in. The printer is in a state of printing. The only way to turn the printer off is by unplugging. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Joanne

Hi. I have a Lexmark xp x84x85.The problem I have been having is I had a Voondo trojan horse virus.I have symantic by Norton.I quarintined the virus.It seems to take the lexmark driver printer and steal the program.Isen't that a copyrite violation?Who ever put this virus on the web sould be prosecuted? I had the printer removed three times.The only thing I could do is expunge the file and reload the driver and restart.Still it happened until I found the files the voondo was hiding in.Then I quarintined the virus.I believe I need a new driver program for my printer?As far as the stealing.I hope you can prosecute this Idiot who put the virus on the web.Perhaps by tracing the source? sincerly;Mr.Robert Phelps.

Every time I go to install the software, it allows me to go so far and then tells me to make sure that the cords are in correctly and tightened. I have done so at least 4 times, and it won't let me get any further. Has this happened to anyone else? if so, how do you fix it. Help as soon as possible...please

Re: Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Esther (2/12/05 8:50 PM) + / -
Could you elaborate on that? I've tried to find the location of this "control program" to no avail.

Ironically enough, the Lexmark Technical Support site is not working, and I have a paper due Monday. I don't think the triple lettering will bode well for my grade. Thanks.


Re: Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Anonymous (2/13/05 8:19 AM) +1 + / -
Hi, Rachel - I have the same problem. In inserted a new black cartridge and took the color out and shook it and returned it. When I closed the door, the cartridge carrier pulled the cartridge hard from the left to the right. The power light blinks constantly, and I cannot turn it off at the power light. Were you able to fix yours?
Thanks - Anne


Re: Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Anonymous (2/13/05 9:18 AM) + / -
Im having a similar problem - my X73 printer used to work and then I changed to XP on my e-machine. The printer if it decides to print at all is very slow or not at all. I have reinstalled it but to no avail - thinking about getting a different printer now.

Re: Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Anonymous (2/18/05 11:56 AM) + / -
What brand is the refill kit ? I bought one that is STRATITEC. And will refill a lexmark printer's cartridges, both color and black, 20 and 50 respectively. It should work. Lexmark cartridges use a technology called Thermal printing which means ink is heated to about 30° Celcius before being injected into paper. So there is 2 kinds of inks so far, Water based and pigmented or some call it oil based. So Lexmark uses the 2nd one. So there should be no problem, after filling it with ink try using a paper tissue and apply a little pressure with it on the ink cartridge head until a line of ink appears. This is to pull ink out of the cartridge and then try printing, it should work.

Dear Lexmark.I lose my printer once or twice a week.(I must install printer)I use system restore and the printer comes back.I believe the Virus(Voondo,trojan horse.)Is stealing the lexmark program and driver.I know the Virus effected the printer.And most likely the software.Isen't that a copy right infringement?I want to install a new driver from your company,and I would appreciate your help.I have been told by retail sellers that I could only purchase the driver with Lexmark.Best Buy and Comp USA.were two of the retail stores that advised me to contact your company.Can you let me know what you can do to help me? Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Mr. Robert Phelps.

Re: Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Anonymous (2/23/05 1:46 PM) + / -
You don't need to purchase a new driver from Lexmark, as they are all available online for free. Go to: http://downloads.lexmark.com/

I would recommend that you thoroughly disinfect your computer with an anti virus program first. A good free virus scanner is available here: www.f-prot.com

I bought a Lexmark X83 printer almost 3 years ago and a few months ago the printer lost power. I am not sure if it is the power cable connecting to the printer or the printer itself. I was using it and all of a sudden there is no power supply at all. Does anyone think it is probably the power supply cord?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I hate to put out the money for a new printer if it is just the power supply cord.
Thank you.

Lexmark X73 and Win98SE - User Intervention Error by Lex Mark8792 (2/27/05 6:59 PM) + / -
Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it? Spent way too much time on the phone with Lexmark - installing, uninstalling, purging, downloading. Every time I call, I get a different procedure but no success. Problem going on for almost a year (since bought it).

PROBLEM: If I leave the USB cable plugged into the printer and THEN power up the computer, I get "user intervention" when trying to print. If I leave it unplugged and then power up, 2/3 of the time it works fine. The other 1/3 of the time I get user intervention error again. The only consistent way to fix this problem is to shut down, unplug, reboot.

Lexmark has given me dozens of procedures - none of which work.

The USB card/cable work find with cameras, so I'm at a loss on this one.

Email me if you would -- lexmark8792@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

Fred


Re: Re: Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by Anonymous (2/27/05 7:05 PM) + / -
See my posting under X73 and Win 98SE.

I wonder which is worse, your X63 or my X73?
My bet would be my X73.

Too bad - they used to have a good name.

I've tried re-installing, checked to make sure i've got the latest driver etc. Is it me?.
Can anyone sugest a fix? Please help.

I bought a lex x1185 and it will not install itself. Ive tried from the cd, ive downloaded the driver off the net and all it does is show that it is installing for a little while then the prog stops responding... i thought maybe it might take a while and so i left it over night and 8 hours, (EIGHT HOURS) later it was still trying to install..
Is this file just really big?
or is it uncompatible or something?
im running a pent two. 333mhz 40gHD, 128mbram, XP Pro, and i want to know if there is some sort of setup that is gonna work.. because at this moment i have found nothing.

It appears that the check cable thing is common. that is what mine is doing. I just used the same cable to run my external CD burner so it must be with the printer. If anyone finds out what causes this give me a shout. Falcon


Re: Lexmark Printer Problems X75 by falcon (3/9/05 1:51 PM) + / -
Mine now prints but will not scan or copy. This is what I did to get it to print.
Printer is Not Detected During InstallationID:ENUS4614 First you need to make all of your files visible. To do this:
Right click the Start button and click Explore.
Click on Tools in the menu bar and select Folder Options.
Click the View tab and select Show Hidden Files and Folders.
Click OK and close the Explorer window.
Click on Start, Search (search all files and folders).
In A word or phrase in the file, type VID_043.
Under the Look in: box, browse to the C:\Windows\inf folder. Note: Some systems may have the Windows directory named as Winnt.
If you find some files with a file name ending in 9x.inf, right click the file and select Open. If there is any reference to Lexmark in this file, create a folder on your desktop called Lexmark and move the file to that folder.
You will probably find the following files also:

lexusb.inf
lxbahid.inf
lxbausb.inf
lxbasc9x.inf
oemxx.inf

Move these files out of the inf folder to the Lexmark folder on the desktop and perform the search again. This time they should all be gone because you are now searching in the C:\Windows\inf folder.
Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable. If the Add New Hardware Wizard appears, cancel it. Important: Don't use the plug and play installations.
Install the driver again from the CD or downloaded driver.
Reboot the PC.
Look in the Device Manager for any yellow (!) or USB composite device, human interface devices (HID), or imaging devices. If you find one, right click it and go to Properties.
Update the driver. You may want to search for a suitable driver. (Note: This is recommended.) When you see the search results, select one of the other drivers for installation, then click Next. Use the Microsoft file, usbprint.inf.
Finish that installation, reboot and try to print again.

i just got an old z42 from a friend and i installed the drivers from the lexmark website. the printer is working but the page comes out blank. i am guessing that the cartridge is dry. can someone give me some info on refilling vs buying a new cartridge. also i cant find the lexmark control program which allows you to see the cartridge level. is there a special download for this?? can someone please help me.


Re: Lexmark Printer Problems by gunmetalg35 (3/11/05 7:24 PM) + / -
I had the same problem, I eventually found that the service "LEXbce server" had been disabled, I changed the startup to automatic and then scanned for new printers and all work fine.

To check the service:
right click "My Computer" -> Manage > "Services and Applications" > services

hope it helps people......

I have a Lexmark Z65 that worked okay also. Then I noticed a buzzing sound coming from the printer even when it was turned off.
