before i downloaded xpthe printer was working. since put in xp i have a
communication problem where it does not print, copy or fax. the scan seems
to work but won't print. we had taken out any printer on pc and redownloaded
the x5250. please help. my hp belt went down and i got no help from them
except to say belt discontinued. and since i paid a tlot for that printer
didn't want to spend the $600 i did on that one. and this was was xp
compatible. now i hear many say lexmark has too many problems with xp.
 
Have you tried loading the printer (drivers) first, then connecting the
print device?

There is a XP driver for your printer on the Lexmark web site with a June 2004
timestamp.

It is always wise to completely uninstall the driver before installing a new driver
or re-installing the old. Go here, there is a special section for Lexmark
How to clean up printer drivers

There are vendors that have replacement parts for HP printers. You might want to try
a search.
