How to Clear Lexmark X73?
 

Yep, still banging away on this old box.....

Anyone have an idea on how to clear the "User intervention
required" error without having to re-boot and re-connect the
dang thing? Clearing it on the print queue won't do it.

Thanks, and now it's off to the doughnut shop for some
serious paper reading.

Can anyone out there in internetland give me some idea on
how to clear this problem up without re-booting every time?

When I am printing and run out of paper, the printer stops
and beeps. Then after I add paper, and hit the 'resume'
button, it starts to print the next page but then stops
after a few seconds and an error message appears on the
screen (click "close" or "ignore"). I have to hit click
"ignore" to get the printing to resume and complete.

Anyone know how to stop that error message from coming up?

This is one crappy printer.

I don't know that you'll find anyone who will disagree with that statement!

The Canon multifunction range are excellent.... but check they have drivers
for Win9x systems before purchasing.

Thanks for the tip. My previous printer was a Cannon and it
was super. Parallel port and fast! Sad thing is - this
Lexmark actually prints very well - especially considering
that I have kicked the sh*t out of it a hunderd times. Bad
software makes anything look bad. That, plus the Indian
tech support difficulties.

** LEXMARK?? Are you reading this!? Give up on those low
budget Indian programmers and hire an AMERICAN ***

Strangely enough the corporate side of Lexmark produces excellent laser
printers. It's just the consumer side that seems to get a very low budget
and the results are clearly visible.

Lexmark inkjet printers tend to have less robust drivers than other
brands, unfortunately, and so there may be no fix for the problem being
encountered.

I'm not sure the nationality of the code writers has anything to do with
this. I have met some very talented code writers from India and some
others from North America who I would not wish to write me a postcard,
let alone a printer driver.

Many companies outsource code work and have fine products.
