Sounds like there is something corrupt with the driver or the wrong driver is associated with the printer. Delete the printer from the computer, but leave attached. Download the newest driver directly from Lexmark and execute the download. The computer should then automatically re-install the printer.

please visit the link below to download the correct driver for your printer directly from Lexmark.

The printer can't handle the data it received and flush it out of its buffer. Goto Menu->Settings->Postscript Settings and turn "Print PostScript Erro" on. When the same print job prints, you should get a page printed out telling you what the printer doesn't like. You may also want to try forcing the printer into Postscript mode. Your PS file probably contains a PJL to set the device to PS mode before it prints. When the printer expects PCL data and received PS data(or vise versa), you can get this behaviour

I have a lexmark x6570 printer it will not print on both sides of the paper anymore it use to print on one side then pull the paper back in as use the other side

Please follow steps below on how to print 2-sided on your printer:
Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing) automatically:

Press .
With a document open, click File > Print.
Click Properties, Preferences, Options, or Setup.
Click the Print Layout tab
From the Duplexing area, select Use Printer Settings from the drop-down box.
Make sure the light is on.
Click OK to close any printer software dialogs that are open.

Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing) manually:

With a document open, click File > Print.
Click Properties, Preferences, Options or Setup.
Click the Print Layout tab.
From the Duplexing area, select Manual from the drop-down box.
Select the Print manual duplex instructions check box.
Press Start.
The printer prints the odd-numbered pages and the instruction sheet, which describes how to flip and reload the paper.
Following the instruction sheet, flip and reload the paper with the printed side facing away from you.
The printer then prints the even-numbered pages on the reverse sides of the odd-numbered pages, completing the two-sided sheets.

Note:

button is not functional with a Macintosh operating system. You can print two-sided documents with a Macintosh operating system by using the settings in the Two-Sided menu of the Print dialog.
Automatic two-sided printing (duplexing) works only with plain paper in letter and A4 sizes. If you want to print two-sided documents on another size or type of paper, use the manual duplexing method.
To return to single-sided printing, make sure the light is not on.

A sheet prints sometimes with this: ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND STACK: In one flow we get this error and in other flow it works fine. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

This is a Postscript error. You may be using a Postscript driver on the printer. Or else you are printing PDFs which are not true Postscript. likely made by a postscript "compatible" software.

Try loading a PCL driver for the printer. This will work just as well if not better than a postscript driver. You may find it faster.

Check lexmark website under support andd downloads for an alternative driver for the printer, also considering your operating system.

If you are printing PDFs or postscript files, the PCL driver may help there also.

HP Officejet 4315 All-in-one I am a Mac user and I cannot do duplex printing or two sided printing

Mac uses a generic driver for all printers. have you verified that duplex printing is check under the printer options?

System Prefs -> Print & Fax -> select the printer, Options and supplies -> driver.

NOTE: if it says print using "Generic postscript driver" you will need to install the manufacturer driver for the printer to get the option to turn on the duplex printing.

Need to know how to do two-sided copies

Will depend on what type of printer you are using.
If you are using photo paper the back side will not accept ink. You will have to use a paper that accepts ink on both side.

These are the steps to use if you are printing from Acrobat.

Options such as duplex printing and stapling are controlled by the printer, not by Acrobat. The information for such options is stored in the printer driver and PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file associated with a particular printer. If your print driver supports these features and you are using Windows, you must also make sure the features are enabled.
To enable duplex printing and/or stapling:
