WINDOWS XP DENIES USE OF LEXMARK X73 PRINTER

[Paul Kulniszewski]

Windows has denied the driver to my Lexmark X73 printer,
all efforts to re-install the printer have failed,
Lexmark downloads will not work because windows XP Denies
the drivers !!

Did you actually uninstall the printer correctly. Since it's a Lexmark, you
MUST do a COMPLETE uninstall... see Bruce Sanderson's article at:

http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

and pay particular attention to his special section on Lexmark printers.

Then reboot the PC.

Ensure the print spooler is running... from the command prompt, type
net start spooler

and hit enter

From the command prompt, type
sfc /scannow

and hit enter

Now download a new set of drivers from the Lexmark website. Ensure you are
logged on an as Administrator or User with Admin Rights. Run the software
you downloaded from Lexmark and do NOT connect the unit until the software
tells you to do so.
