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.

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.

they have drivers

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?

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.

One more time -- this printer is CRAP. The software is
CRAP. The cable is CRAP. The Indian "tech" supporters are
CRAP. Lexmark is CRAP.

Any questions? Any answers? Anyone care for a mint?

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.

About the corporate Lexmark world, I can't comment on it,
but if one division of the company dumps crap like this X73
wonder on the public, then, as far as I am concerned, the
whole Lexmark Corp is a good one to avoid.

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.

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.

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!

Very diplomatic, Arthur! You can politely call their
drivers "less robust" but I'll call them CRAP. And the
people who wrote the drivers "morons." And the tech support
CRAP. And the whole Lexmark management who dumps this kind
of CRAP on the public morons - I call them CRAP!

"Arthur Entlich" wrote in message

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.
