Printer Lexmark Z640

Try to clear the print queue first before sending a new print job. Follow these steps to clear print jobs stuck in the print queue(for Windows):

1. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in "NET STOP SPOOLER" (this will stop the print spooler service)

2. Browse to your windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\ folder

3. You should see files there ending in .SPL and .SHD created around the time you tried to print - delete these files.

4. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in "NET START SPOOLER" (this will restart the print spooler service)

5. Double click the printer icon in the lower-right corner of your taskbar to examine your print job queue and browse to View -> Refresh.

Yes simply disconnect the printer and delete cancel the print job again. Then simply reconnect the printer. This is a common event.

Turn printer on and off if that doesnt work then ust restart, sometimes things get stuck in the queue.

This may help you

if you want to stop a print run simply press the stop button on the printer
next go to the control panel and get to the add a printer section
click on the printer and open up see what is printing
highlight all in the print queue and delete it there no print queue , nothing to print
to be sure and not waste paper remove all but 1 sheet and press the start button
keep using that paper until what is spooled in the printer memory has been used

Go to start menu, open printer and faxes option. Right click your printer icon and open properties. Click on the port tab and verify that Enable bidirectional support is selected. If not click on it to check it. Click on OK and it shd work..

I took mine back and got a refund and bought an epson instead which is fine !

I have a lexmark 640 and experienced the same problem today and read similar problems but noone provided a solution. Fortunately I managed to solve the problem by cancelling the job then while it was still in print queue, shut down and restarted the computer.

This worked for me.
