My Lexmark X2450 has been working on my Vista PC since May'07. Sometime in the last few weeks something has changed and initially it seemed that it wouldn't print anything. Lots of experimentation and uninstalls later, I've come to the conclusion that the printer is O.k. as it will print test pages and IE web pages, but I can't get it to print anything else, (Word docs etc. These show as spooling, printing then deleting in the print queue. Note: Last night, I gave up trying at 2am turned the printer and PC off and turned it off at the wall - the next morning my son turned on the PC and some of the print attempts from last night printed! Help, if I had hair, I'd be tearing it out. -- CKM Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

I'd probably disconnect the printer and uninstall the drivers and then shut the PC down overnight. Tomorrow, redownload the software from the Lexmark website, install it, do NOT reconnect the printer until the software tells you to do so, and then try to print from Word (or whatever). -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "CKM" <CKM.38wm0g@no-mx.forums.vistaheads.com> wrote in message news:CKM.38wm0g@no-mx.forums.vistaheads.com... > > My Lexmark X2450 has been working on my Vista PC since May'07. > > Sometime in the last few weeks something has changed and initially it > seemed that it wouldn't print anything. > > Lots of experimentation and uninstalls later, I've come to the > conclusion that the printer is O.k. as it will print test pages and IE > web pages, but I can't get it to print anything else, (Word docs etc. > These show as spooling, printing then deleting in the print queue. > > Note: Last night, I gave up trying at 2am turned the printer and PC off > and turned it off at the wall - the next morning my son turned on the PC > and some of the print attempts from last night printed! > > Help, if I had hair, I'd be tearing it out. > > > -- > CKM > Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com > |

The administrator log in can print anything, but other user with administrator rights seem to only be able to print from Internet Explorer. -- CKM Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

Turned off UAC which allowed everyone to print. success????? Tried to scan a document, but that doesn't work now. I guess you can't have everything working at the same time or life would be too easy:confused: -- CKM Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
