What should I do with my Lexmark printer x3430? It will not print an entire article. It will print only one page.

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.).


If that doesn't help, try the steps below:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer from your computer.
  2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
  3. Delete the Lexmark print object.
  4. Reboot computer.
  5. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - black box where the power cord is plugged into on the back of the printer, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
  6. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to the computer.
  7. Wait until your computer fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list, try to print a document to verify that the problem is fixed.

You may also try to update your printer driver by visiting the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/AbnM39. Select your operating system, download and execute the file. After the install process, try to print again.

When I try to print. It says you must hook up printer . The printer has ben hooked up. I printed one paper just fine. the next time it said hooh up printer. I removed cable fom printer & computer...

It seems that your computer is not recognizing the printer even when it's hooked up. Make sure the cable is properly inserted into the printer and your computer. If you have another USB cable you can use, try that and see if it works.

A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Frequently, issues are caused simply by a break in the signal sent from PC to printer or vice versa. Unplugging and re-plugging the printer allows the small amount of on-board memory on the printer to be cleared, with the result that the PC recognizes the machine properly. Programs continuing to run in the background of the operating system (OS) can cause the signal to be lost. Rebooting the PC ends all programs that may be running and makes a 'clean' start, allowing the signal to be detected.

I can scan but can not print from the computer! it says that there is no communication to the computer. if there is no communication , how come it can scan a document? please email me the solutions to this...

Hi there maximum time we found it is a the head problem. The print head is what the cartridges sit in inside of the printer. For resolve the problem please follow these.

Open the printer and wait for the carriage to slide over. Some how if its not come then Unplug the printer & Manually slide the carriage.
Now Remove the ink cartridges from the printer head & Use wet warm cotton swab or use alcohol to thoroughly clean the print head.
Repeat this until there is no ink residue coming off on the cotton swab. After finished it make the head dry then fix it back. Now Try to print something now
If that does not work then follow the next step.

Remove the printer data cable & restart the PC & printer. Then fit back the data cable & turn on the printer. Hope that's start working , if no luck then Uninstall the printer driver & restart the PC & Printer both again. Now install the driver of the printer and connect it with PC ,Turn on printer & go for a test print from the printer preference. Thanks & waiting for your reply.

PeoplePC won't go away!

If you have your original discs (windows i presume) then reinstall from scratch. This should completely remove the annoyance.

%#%#%$ at PeoplePC screwed up our LAN on Dell Dimension 5100

How about doing a system restore on both PCs to a point in time before they screwed you up? Then, switch carriers immediately...their software is buggy at best and causes all kinds of problems. Check out www.localnet.com for a company I recommend and you don't need their software!
