Hi, I have the up to date drivers for my printer (Lexmark
Z33) and card reader (Belkin) but I keep losing the
connection, rebooting is a temporary fix and then I can
print again. But as soon as I open another application and
then want to print again, the connection with the USB
device is invariably lost requiring another reboot. I have
tried deinstallation and reinstallation on more than one
occasion. Any ideas on how to fix this please?
 
I have a Lexmark x63 and the same problem occurs, except I
have to reinstall the printer drivers. Both windows and
Lexmark blame each other but I think its a Lexmark driver
issue in windows.
 
At least I don't feel quite so alone, thanks, Joseph. I
never had this problem with my old printer using a serial
cable. By the sounds of it, I think I may have to get a
new printer (not Lexmark) to get a long term fix. :-(
