Hi There: I have been trying to install the above
mentioned printer and am having problems. This might be
equivalent to a P705 in USA (I'm in Canada). I've
installed the printer and things look OK. It prints the
cartridge alignment test page and will print Word/Excel
documents directly from the screen before I save them as
files. If I try to print a file that I previously saved
(even minutes ago) I get a "carriage stall" error.
Basically this says that the printer carriage is jammed
or the cartridges are not properly installed. I have
bought and returned 2 other printers that have given me
the same problem, so it surely cannot be anything in
Lexmark's SW. I've tried everything with Lexmark's tech
support people (very nice and helpful) and they seem to
think that it's something in XP. Any help from anybody
would be wonderful!

regards,

Peter N
 
This isn't a problem we've come across before in the correct newsgroup for
printing issues which would be microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax.

In fact I don't believe I've ever seen it.

It sounds much more like a problem with the hardware in the printer. Were
the replacement printers exactly the same make and model?

Have you tried another make of printer?

If we go back to basics, is this printer connected through USB or Parallel
cable and if Parallel, is the LPT port in the BIOS set to EPP?
