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.

Can anyone out there in internetland give me some idea on
how to clear this problem up without re-booting every time?

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?
 
I don't know that you'll find anyone who will disagree with that statement!

The Canon multifunction range are excellent.... but check they have drivers
for Win9x systems before purchasing.
 
Thanks for the tip. My previous printer was a Cannon and it
was super. Parallel port and fast! Sad thing is - this
Lexmark actually prints very well - especially considering
that I have kicked the sh*t out of it a hunderd times. Bad
software makes anything look bad. That, plus the Indian
tech support difficulties.

** LEXMARK?? Are you reading this!? Give up on those low
budget Indian programmers and hire an AMERICAN ***
 
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.
 
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.

I'm not sure the nationality of the code writers has anything to do with
this. I have met some very talented code writers from 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.

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.
 
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?

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.
 
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.
 
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!
