My Lexmark printer will freeze up in the middle of a page. Never the same place but maybe the 1st page or even the 2nd page. I have made contact with Lexmark support but we haven't resolved the problem. This has been going on for some time now. I have uninstalled & reinstalled several times plus system restore and who knows what else. I'm connected via the USB port on my Windows XP home edition.

But have you done so /properly/?

Suggest you follow Cari's instructions here www.coribright.com/windows,
click the first button and follow the instructions *EXACTLY*. Do *NOT* omit
Step 4.

Is this a new computer or did you upgrade? If the latter, you probably left
the printer connected whilst upgrading and you've corrupted the driver.

"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
 
It's a Lexmark, how can you miss it! Personally I'd like to miss all of
them but.......!

Call it brain fog. My Canon's working fine now, btw. But I've just seen the
9950 - pure red and pure green inks - I'm drooling! 1.5 picolitres.

No, I'm not envious...Do I covet...? Nope.

Now, why are you looking at me like that?!
