I bought a Lexmark 3400 series all in one printer. I have been using in with my desk top computer with Mcro. Offive and it has worked great. I recently purchased a lap-top with Vista. We loaded the printer program on to the lap-top and made it the default. When we go to print we get the message that the computer can not communicate with the printer.
View 4 RepliesI have a Lexmark Printer which worked with Windows 98. Now it won't work with
my new Emachines computer with Windows Vista Home Premium. I have downloaded
the recommended updates, but all I seem to get is the documents put in the
queue, but does not send to the printer to begin printing.
I have a Lexmark Optra R laser printer that I bought in 1996! But it works great and will outlast anything you can buy today. When I got my new computer with Vista I found I couldn't install it. The driver seems to be available, but the computer just doesn't recognize the printer.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy Lexmark X2450 has been working on my Vista PC since May'07. Sometime in the last few weeks something has changed and initially it seemed that it wouldn't print anything. Lots of experimentation and uninstalls later, I've come to the conclusion that the printer is O.k. as it will print test pages and IE web pages, but I can't get it to print anything else, (Word docs etc. These show as spooling, printing then deleting in the print queue. Note: Last night, I gave up trying at 2am turned the printer and PC off and turned it off at the wall - the next morning my son turned on the PC and some of the print attempts from last night printed!

I had downloaded the vista driver software from the Lexmark web site *cjb3500-4500en.exe* - it installs the software but cant find the vista driver. I have tried a clean uninstall, reinstalling the drivers, installing the drivers manually with add printers, and nothing has worked!!! also restored the vista to a before point and reinstalled still no use.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have successfully networked my Vista Home Premium 64bit Dell laptop to my WinXP Pro PC and am able to transfer files back and forth. Now I'm trying to set up a HP 3390 USB printer that's attached to the WinXP Pro PC as a network printer, and print to it from the Vista laptop. When I try to setup the printer for networking, it seems that Vista wants a 64bit printer driver for it. Is that how network printers work?
IOW, do all USB peripherals like printers, scanners and memory card readers have to have Vista 64bit drivers to work with a networked Vista 64bit PC even though they are connected to a WinXP PC? This is not really a problem since HP does provide a 64bit Vista driver for the 3390 laser printer and also for my HP D5360 inkjet printer. But I just wanted verification of the above before I continue trying to get the printer working as a networked printer.
I am trying to connect my epson printer to the firewire port on my new 64-bit machine but it does not work. Epson has informed me that Vista64 does not support firewire and that I need to use USB. IS this true?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a simple home network set up at the office. There are 4 computers and 3 printers all hardwired. The three printers are all on 1 computer(XP OS) and connected via usb and serial/IEEE port. The problem is the laptop (Vista OS) because that computer doesn't see all the others and doesn't print even thought the printer is installed on the computer. The Vista laptop also has Norton on it. I am guessing that it is a firewall problem because Norton and Windows firewall are arguing with each other but I have no idea how to fix this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedNo vista home premium x64 printer driver for Toshiba e-studio 150 copier/printer. Searched for hours. Other than copying files to a networked computer, isn't there some kind of workaround possible through networking so I can just shoot stuff directly to the printer? (Of course the normal networked printer routine won't work without a Vista 64 driver). Also tried Vmware virtual machine but it says the printer is trying to scan when it's not, probably because Vista won't stop trying to communicate with it. (ms virtual pc doesn't work on vista home premium x64).
Printer is too expensive to become a paperweight. user Russell found this workaround for another printer...Found this on google while working on this issue myself and came back to post what I got working. Setup the port as LPR, queue name print with byte counting on. Use the built in x64 2k3 driver for the Ricoh Aficio AP3800C PS. So far I have Color, Duplexing, Tray options working properly with this driver, but the finisher doesn't want to staple... better than it being a large paperweight though.
I have a new Vista Premium 64, it has it's own driver for the above parallel port printer (about 10 years old!), which is installed. If you try to print the job will spool and sometimes the printer will spew out a blank page or two, but usually the printer just makes a noise to start up printing and then the power light just blinks, the job disappears from the print job window in vista

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've had a problem with Vista 32bit for quite a while now. This happened before and after Sp1. Basically, if I connect to a remote share and attempt to copy a file to the pc/server, i'll get a bluescreen after a few seconds. I can't remember the exact file referenced in the crash (I can recreate it and get it). This also happens when I attempt to connect to a shared printer. SP1 didn't make a difference. Anyone have any ideas or heard of similar vista behavior?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI purchased a HP Laptop with Vista and have had an HP Printer. After 17-documented hours with HP Tech Support and now my 3rd Replacement Printer, It still doesn't work right. After working properly for a "few days" it is now only printing partial pages. Printing will omit some text but prints other parts. I have been told by HP that its a WINDOWS problem/bug that they won't fix. I was told the configuration in the Operating System via the Rediscovery Service through Administrative Tools would require a computer person to fix it. Their tech. support supposedly did that with me (took 2 hours) and he promised my problem was solved. I am now experiencing the same problem. HP blames Windows and Windows Blames HP. I work from home and I need my printer to work. Often times, the printer shows offline and won't print at all. You'd think 2 HP Products would work seemlessly together. Fraid not. Any solutions? I have installed and reinstalled the original cd for the printer and that temporarily cures the problem. There has to be a glitch somewhere.

%Build Template Error%, I have tried to uninstall it from the Device Manager but I stil cannot uninstall it from Programs and Features.
I have spent so much time on this already. I had Lexmark all-in-one X5260 and an old Epson printer installed on my Vista Business Sony Vaio laptop without problem since early 2008. Yesterday I removed the old Epson, with problems, as it had a test print still in the spooler. Since then I have had ???Spooler SubSystem App??? problems and been unable to re-install or print from the Lexmark. I did System Restore back to the day before I removed the Epson printer. I carefully removed the Epson printer. Still no printing with Lexmark. I have followed the recommendations of many of the posts here, especially ???Spooler SubSystem App??? with Alan Morris and Eddie. I uninstalled Lexmark. I followed the procedure recommended in and presumed I deleted the drivers and spoolers.
However I was unable to do the ???net stop spooler??? and ???net stop spooler???. I got the response ???System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied???. In Command Prompt I was not at the root directory, I was at C:UsersVaio. (Vaio is my user name.) I am the only user of this laptop and my printer is plugged into a USB port, not networked. I then tried to install from the Lexmark 5200 Series CD. Before getting to the ???detecting your printer??? phase, I got the Spooler SubSystem App closed error message. Lexmark 5200 now appears in my printers but a test page print or doc print does not work.
I have a senior friend with a Lexmark 8350 AIO (Vista drivers available)installed via USB on a XP home laptop. The XP laptop sees the internet via an ethernet connection to a Belkin wireless router. The XP Lexmark XP Driver software was installed and the printer worked fine. He shared the printer in XP. He hs another laptop loaded with Vista Home Premium that he has connected wirelessly via the Belkin router. Both computers are on the same workgroup. He can see folders and files files of each computer on the other computer. When he tried to set up Lexmark as a network printer in the Vista laptop, he sees the share name but the print wizard fails with a code 0x0000000d. Based upon comments located here

The printer works just fine. how to get that icon back again without doing another restart?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI?m trying to install a network printer on a Vista machine. Vista is able to locate the printer on the network but when I select it for installation, for some time, Vista tries to connect and then pops up this message: "Failed Connecting to Printer - Access Denied" And then another window pops up with this message: "Spooler Subsystem Application stopped woring and has been closed." In fact the spooler service always stops, so I have to restart it on the services windows, within Administrative Tools of the Control Panel. The machine is new and has been installed yesterday. Everything else works fine. The printer I am trying to install is on a Windows XP Professional machine within the same network (naturally).
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell PC with XP Home and a Dell A960 Printer attached to it. I also have a new HP Laptop with Vista premium that has also had the same printer attached to it at times so the drivers are installed on HP laptop. I recently installed a router so I can use laptop wirelessly. That works fine. However, I am unable to print to the host printer wirelessly. I get message saying printer cannot communicate with computer. I tried everything I found on Google searches. I have enabled printer sharing on both. Do I have to make the Workgroup names the same and if so do I change the Dell with XP or the HP with Vista? I changed the Dell once to no avail so I changed back. Do computer names have to be same? I am a novice at networking.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI cannot set the default printer in Vista Business with SP1. I am connected to a domain trying to set a network printer hosted from a server as the default printer. I have seen a dozen or more questions similiar to this in this group as well as on other forums and found no answer. I see a MS-MVP come on and tell people to remove local printers such as the XPS and adobe printers. This is a ridiculous solution. Sure it may allow you to connect to a network printer but you have removed printers that you are going to need to use again. Unacceptable.
So far the only other solution that does not include deleting all the local printers off of the machine is to make sure you have write permissions to the default printer registry key. I have checked this and I do have write permissions(Full Control). SO WHAT NEXT? IS MICROSOFT EVER GOING TO COME OUT WITH ANOTHER FIX FOR THIS?
