Start>Run> type services.msc and click OK.

Double-click the Printer Spooler service, and then change the startup type to Automatic. This sets the Spooler service to start automatically when you restart the computer. Click OK.
look out for spooler or print spooler in services.

LexMark X5340 not working!!!

Hi,
What you need to do is the following. First Uninstall completely the Lexmark software and all of its folders. Once you have uninstall everything that has to do with the Lexmark software then restart your computer (Make sure you do this properly otherwise it will not work) Once the computer has come back click the following link http://bit.ly/dd8LMi and download the driver for windows Vista. Once you finished downloading the driver then install it. That should fix your problem. If that does not fix it then try the recommendations on this link http://bit.ly/dko344.

I setup my Lexmark Z2420 on a wireless connection

Setting up a Lexmark Z2420 on a wireless connection is a straightforward process, but it can vary depending on your specific network configuration. Here are the general steps you can follow to set up your Lexmark Z2420 on a wireless connection:
  1. Connect the printer to the wireless network: Turn on the printer and make sure it is in range of your wireless network. Press the Wireless button on the printer's control panel to access the wireless menu. Use the navigation buttons to select "Wireless Setup Wizard" and then press OK. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer to your wireless network.
  2. Install the printer software: Insert the installation CD that came with your printer into your computer's CD drive and follow the on-screen instructions to install the printer software. If you don't have the installation CD, you can download the software from the Lexmark website.
  3. Add the printer to your computer: Once the software is installed, add the printer to your computer by following the on-screen instructions. You may be prompted to enter your wireless network name and password.
  4. Test the printer: Once the printer is connected to your wireless network, test it by printing a test page from your computer.
It's important to note that the steps may vary depending on your specific network configuration, and it's best to consult the manual or the Lexmark website for the specific instructions. Also, it's important to make sure that your computer and the printer are connected to the same wireless network and that the network is working properly before attempting to connect the printer. If you're still having trouble setting up the printer, you may need to consult the manual or contact Lexmark customer support for additional assistance. if i help my cashapp $ralphpapi

Cannot get Lexmark X5340 driver to install in Vista

Hello

I've had similiar problems with customers printers in the shop. Generally I have found that if I uninstall all the Lexmark drivers and associated software and the USB drivers, then goto Start, run and type CMD (you'll need to have admistrator rights). At the prompt type SFC /scannow. Have the orginal Vista disk handy because it will probably need to install USB drivers. Once this has completed reinstall the drivers that came with the printer (not online). This should solve your problem, now you did eliminate any chance of viruses, malware or spyware interfering?

Spooler not running after Lexmark x83 installation on windows XP laptop

From what you're saying the windows print spooler service is not starting following the installation of your printer (and thereby you cannot print i'm assuming)

try the following to start the print spooler service if it is not already running.
Click Start
Right Click My Computer
Click Manage
Click "Services and Applications"
Click Services
Scroll down to "Print Spooler" and double click on it to open up the properties page
where it says "startup type" select automatic from the combo box list
Apply
If the service is NOT running, start it by clicking "start"
click OK

The print spooler service is started now, and **should** work properly. If the spooler is still not starting properly, then you may have a driver issue and i reccommend uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for your printer.
