A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Simply disconnect the printer from your computer (if USB connected)> reboot your pc > unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer (if USB connected). Then try to print again once the computer fully recognizes the USB connection or when the WiFi light on the printer turns solid green (if WiFi connected.).

My computer won't boot up while my Lexmark X5650 is connected and turned on. Dell computer running XP pro. When I turn the printer off, it will boot.

Try moving the USB cable to another usb port. Ports can go bad; or if the printer interface is bad; it will cause this type of problem. If you want, you can try another cable too. In the end, you may end up having to replace the printer. But, certainly try another port first.

I have a Canon MVX150I Mini DV Digital Camcorder and wanting to know how to connect to my Apple MacPro Book. When i connect with a FireWire 800/400 (9-pin to 4PinCable) the MacPro cannot find it. I am...

Place the camera in VCR mode, connect a firewire cable and open iMovie, that should work. If not open the System Profiler and see if the camera is on the Firewire Bus.
Could be a bad cable or dead camera port, try with other equipment to trouble shoot the culprit.

My printer is Lexmark x5650. It prints well, but when i try to scan it starts making knocking noise after few seconds and continues 15 sec. then i get a message on printer's control panel display...

Unrecoverable scan error indicates a hardware problem. It's also evident with the "knocking noise" in the printer. I strongly suggest you contact Lexmark technical support for assistance.

My Lexmark won't scan to my computer

Did you install the full-featured software or just the OS generic driver? If a full-featured software exists for your OS, uninstall the previous driver, unplug the USB cable and install the full software.

Next try a new USB cable and a different port. If you have a USB hub or print server in use, try a direct connection to the computer. (Scanners need bi-directional communication and fail even when the printer works.)

If you can't launch a scan from the all-in-one, try launching it from the computer. (Either the full-software or another scan program (Win7 and Vista let you scan into Paint. Win7 and some versions of Vista have Windows Fax and Scan for those all-in-ones that only get support from Windows generic drivers on those OS's).)

Some of the full-featured software drivers include a monitor that must be running to see if buttons are pressed on the scanner. Check that if this is the case for your all-in-one.

I hope this helps.

(I'm assuming that the printer itself works which means the USB ports aren't disabled for power-savings or security.)

May be you can help

Up until it just broke today I have been using a LEX73. I used an old computer, I mean like a Pentium One and connected the LEX to it and then shared it. I was able to print across the network to it from my Vista laptop with no issues.
