Lexmark x5150 all in one printer

The 0502 error code can be caused by either faulty cartridge or a dislodged encoder strip (transparent strip) in the cartridge area. Refer to this article in the Lexmark website on Error 0502 on the Lexmark X5130/X5150/X5190 Pro LCD Display. This will help you determine and resolve the problem. Thanks.

The error is caused by either the cartridges or the encoder strip. Here's a link to the Lexmark website to guide you on what to do. Just click on this link: http://bit.ly/affECc .

Lexmark X5150 Error 50C

I am posting this in hopes of helping others that are having issues with the Vista print spooler. In my case, I have an HP Pavilion laptop running Vista connected to a wireless hub. I also have a Minolta Konica 2300DL printer that is connected to the network via the wireless hub as well. Ever since obtaining this laptop, I have not been able to print to the printer other than stopping and starting the print spooler to obtain a single print 'job'. After about six months I found a post that contains the fix - I cannot take credit for it! Follow these instructions to get your printer to work:

1.) Go into control panel - I would suggest classic view as it is a little easier to navigate.

2.) Then go into User Accounts.

3.) From User Accounts go into Turn User Account Control On or Off

4.) UNCHECK Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer.

5.) At this point you will probably require a reboot.

Once this exercise is complete, you should be able to print. One more item off of my Honey DOO list!!!!!

Hmmm i think i need a bit more info... have you tried using the copy function? Check the Lcd screen for error msgs? If the copy function works and there are no error msgs then i would suggest a uninstall and then reinstall of the driver:

Use this updated driver direct from lexmark. During the install it should print a test page.

If the test print does not work then try a different usb port.

Hope this helps..Good Luck please rate my response..

You might need to download the Vista print driver for your printer.
