I'm certainly not commenting on nationality. All countries
have their share of morons. One thing is for certain
though -- Lexmark evidently pays extra just to get the first
class award-winning morons for their tech support. And
those that flunk out of tech support are transferred to the
"W98 driver writing" dept.

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.

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 ***

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.

This is one crappy printer.

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?
