Printing
What is the model of your Lexmark printer? This will help us give you a more direct instruction on how to fix the problem you're currently experiencing.Meanwhile, you can try to do a deep clean cartridge/printhead function on your printer to clear the cartridge/printhead nozzles from possible clogs and dirt.If it's more on communication issue, 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.
