Printing failed on my XP SP3 system. Problems seemed to start soon after
SP3 loaded but that may be a co-incidence. At first seemed like a job was
stuck in the print queue which was at length cleared by stop/start of the
spooler. Still no printing. When I try to print the print dialogue box opens
but the printer is not there , only fax. In printers and Faxes if I try to
delete the printer after right clicking then properties and delete I get
error msg saying "...printer has lost comms with server". When trying to
uninstall the driver via server properties option I get error " the driver is
in use " . Lexmark 2200 driver eventually ‘removed’ in add/remove progs, No
Lexmark file/prog is now shown in this window. Reload of driver from CD fails
after clicking "install" ...task manager shows CD to be "not responding"
Loading new driver from Lexmark site fails to do anything after clicking ok
after unzip is completed. Despite unistall the printer icon still appears in
'Printers and Faxes', also the Driver seems to exsist in the Program file
structure, it's folder has 328 files. At system shutdown "rundll32.exeâ€
shows as not responding.
Tried an alternative USB cable with no effect. Unplugging the USB cable
results in the gong sound as does re-connexion.
In Local services have tried stop/starting those items that seemed related
to printing. My printer is Lexmark X2230 , although when I ran the lexmark
diagnostics it said it was X2250 ...it also said no driver was present.
Help; not very computer savvy so plain language replies please.
