Printer not responding
Hi,
This one has got me stumped. I have windows 98 se and until recently operated a Lexmark z11 printer with no problems. However now my printer fails to respond to printing requests from various applications-with message printer not responding. This however is invariably on first attempt to print- closing down print tray and retrying to print sometimes kicks the printer into action so does switching the printer off and on. Device manager shows no conflicts -tried reinstalling driver-deleting printer port and recreating it, trawling the registry for old printer files-basically I have come to a dead end. Any thoughts welcome, #Thanks Matt |

Is it possible to use USB connection? The parallel port on the motherboard
may be failing. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "Stratus" wrote in message ...

Thanks for this,
I will have to investigate whether I can- maybe I need a parallel port - USb converter if such a thing exists ? Matt "Cari (MS-MVP)" wrote: Is it possible to use USB connection?
