Windows 7 Troubleshooting Lexmark X1200 Printing Issues on Windows 7

wt.pm · Jul 13, 2009

Yesterday, I printed something, then an hour later I tried to print something else, and it would not print at all. I kept getting an error msg, that printer could not communicate with computer. I have tried to correct the problem, even changing printers. Nothing. So I finally booted to xp, printed what I needed to, then rebooted to 7. Still doesn't work. I am using an Lexmark X1200. Any ideas?

Sounds like your printer driver has become corrupt.. They have a funny way of doing that. I'd suggest reinstalling the printer driver.. Before you do though it might not hurt to check and see if there is a Windows 7 Specific driver available for your printer yet... If you do find a newer one then what you have installed now, remember to uninstall the old one before installing the new one to avoid any possible conflicts....

If you only have the option of using the same one again then you shouldn't have to uninstall it first, simply reinstalling it should do the trick..
