Lexmark printer peripheral

Windows cannot connect to the printer, the local printer spooler service is not running. What is the spooler service?

Hi Jack,

The spooler service is that interfaces between you (your request) and the printer. It send or "reels" your job printing to the printer where they are queued for printing.

The service starts automatically at Windows startup, so the real question here is "what is originally the spooler service turn off?

Try restarting your computer and then try to print. If the same info appears his time to troubleshoot your printer / setup.

Let me know if this helps you.

Kind regards

  • My Lexmark printer stopped working and the error message says "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?).

    When my printer stopped working because of error messages about "printer cannot communicate with the computer" (from "twisted into the USB pins?), I tried to change to 2nd USB port without success. I tried a new cable; that did not help.

    Then I uninstalled and reinstalled my Lexmark printer and changed the error message. Now, the printer does not work because "the USB device is not recognized."

    I tried to update the chips; Use 1 USB port; and using the old cable, all this without success. I checked the connections of the cable to the printer and the PC and turn on the printer and goes off; I'm out of ideas. Any other suggestions?

  • How to clean my printhead on my Lexmark printer

    Put a new (black) ink cartridge in my Lexmark printer and it says I need a deep cleaning of the print head.
    My color ink cartridges are also very low. Can I just use black?

    Hello

    You can follow the procedure if you are comfortable to clean the Lexmark printer head.

    (a) insert a blank sheet of paper in the printer Lexmark using the paper tray and start the head cleaning process.

    (b) launching the 'Start' menu on your Windows computer. Show additional options, scroll through the list.

    (c) select the "All programs" link to access additional settings for your computer system. Choose the Lexmark folder that contains several features specifically for your printer. On some printer models, the software includes a "Center of Solution Lexmark" application that can be used to take through the troubleshooting steps.

    (d) click the "Maintenance" tab to access the settings of cleaning your printer. In few seconds you will be presented with a choice to print a test page. Select the option 'Print' and wait for the page at the end of printing for you. The ink cartridge automatically push the ink into the printer head and clean at the same time.

    (e) discovers the printed page to see if the colors and the quality is satisfactory. As soon as your printed page, you'll know immediately if your print head was totally clean and work properly.

  • Installation with Windows 7 Lexmark printer

    Im trying to install my Lexmark printer and it gives me the following message is displayed after recognized the printer: Windows is unable to locate a suitable printer driver.  Can someone help me?

    Visit the Lexmark web site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your printer. If there is none, Lexmark does not have a compatible set of drivers, then your printer does not work in Windows 7.

  • Installer of Lexmark printer drivers saved in a folder "c:\Program Files \" (with a space at the end of this one!)

    I have a real problem.

    On my Windows 7 Professional machine somehow is an automatic update of installed Lexmark printer drivers and the installation program saved files
    in a folder names "c:\Program Files \" (with a space at the end of this one!)

    This all happened the day after without seeing me what was going on.

    It seems that the Windows 7 system does not like the folder or file names ending in a 'space' or a 'period' and it will not work with it.

    The side effect is that in some sort the system has copied EACH name on this new folder called sub0folder "C:\Program Files-" and I ended up with TWO files that have the air of the same name (even if we have a space at the edn of it ".

    It isn't really a problem in what I could simply ignore it (the other folder names corrrectly operates always OK). The only problem is that changes to 'Security' affect the TWO files because Windows 7 sees the two folder as the 'same' names when setting security.

    That's why, when I tried to mark the 'bogus' as 'not available' folder to everyone (including the system) it is the same for 'Program Files' (the real one) with disastrous consequences. I had the chance to get out and restore some semb; launched sound mind to my machine.

    But I'm stuck now with this annoying issue with many sub-fdolers (which are all unaccessable because the system cannot locate).

    My question is, how to remove a file that has a 'space' as the last part of his name when Windows Explorer cannot work with it?

    Thanks a lot with no matter what helpf with this very unusual problem.

    If you have the opportunity to make a complete picture of the system of the disc, I would before you try the following... just in case remove the "bad" folder ends up deleting all good also.  Alternatively, rather than remove the directory in the last step below, rename it using a command like

    ren c:\PROGRA~3 c:\badprogs {press Enter}

    If program of the 'real' the files and other directories survive unscathed, and then delete the C:\badprogs in the usual way.

    ******************************************

    In the search box, type cmd, then right click on cmd.exe and select "Run as Administrator".  Give the password when you are prompted.

    Type

    CD c:\  {Press Enter}

    to switch to the root

    Now type

    dir /x {press Enter}

    This will show you a list of directories of names "short form".  You will probably see something like this (from a x 64 Win 7 installation, is why there "Progra ~ 1" and "Progra ~ 2" directories ")

    Directory of c:\

    01/08/2012 13:19

    PROGRA ~ 1 Program Files
    30/07/2012 13:03 PROGRA ~ 2 Program Files (x 86)
    03/07/2012 10:46 users
    30/07/2012 20:16 Windows

    In your case, your directory parasite called or PROGRA ~ 3 (if you have x 64) or PROGRA ~ 2 (if you have Windows 7 32 bit).

    Now that you know the name short, which allows to delete:

    del C:\progra~3 {press Enter}
