Yes, that is the only way that this piece of garbage Lexmark
X73 (excuse the expression) PRINTER will work. Just one
problem -- I don't want to be re-booting my computer every
15 minutes. Thanks, PattyL!

Have you tried shutting down the computer, then turning
off the printer,
unplugging it and letting it sit for a few minutes? Then
plug it back in
and restart your system. Give this a try. Some devices
will not completely
reset when you reboot or shut down your computer because
they are still
connected to power.

Agreed. But whoever wrote this printer driver should
have
his American or Indian balls shot off at high noon.

Their tech support is reading a basic troubleshooting
chart
and I get the same wrong advice each time. One of the
supervisors actually called me back one time, but he
never
got anywhere either.

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?
