"Lexmark suggested that I change the print processor to WinPrint and
set the default data type to NT EMF 1.008
the world is a much better place. not only are jobs deleted from the
spool but they also go to the printer faster (because not as large)
Perhaps I may have gotten to this on my own but I've simply never had
to deal with print spool issues so I've never investigated processor
and data types - I can't remember the last time I even looked at these
settings. Ah well, more wisdom for me I guess."

I have an X83. I hadn't been able to print for 2 weeks. I opened
printers and faxes, right-clicked on Lexmark X83, properties, clicked
the advanced tab, clicked Print Processor, changed the Print Processor
to WinPrint and tried the default data type NT EMF 1.008: nothing
happened. That was good because nothing froze, no error messages. So
I tried 1.007, and again nothing happened when I tried to print a test
page from the General tab. But oh Boy! When I entered NT EMF 1.006
and hit print test page from the General tab, this old X83 started
printing like nobody's biznuss.

Hope this helps if you're still needing it
