Lexmark E260dn Laser Printer Logo
Posted on Jul 10, 2009

Prints garbage My Lexmark e260dn won't stop printing single lines of Greek or other symbols after a computer malfunction.

  • kucklick Jul 10, 2009

    The computer recognizes the printer, and the printer has worked fine except for a couple of times where the computer "froze up" during operation (it's been doing that a lot lately) requiring a button-holding shut down. After re-start of the computer, the printer starts printing page after page, each with a line or two of illegible script. Each page is different. It prints even when the USB cable has been unplugged. After a half a ream or so of paper and shutting the printer down for a period of time it will operate normally again. Can't I just cancel the print queue on this Lexmark?

    Does your computer state that it's a Lexmark E260dn? Or ,you may be missing a driver. Driver files should be available at Lexmark's website.http://downloads.lexmark.com/perl/downlo...

You have a software problem there. You can try and clear the print job in the computer but more than likely its already in the printer memory and is going to print until its finished. I think you're going to have to let it run until its finished then go back and make sure your computer malfunction is fixed before you try it again. I know its frustrating...but it will eventually stop. You might want to re feed the used paper unitl it does. I'd say turn it off and on...but I don't think that will clear the print job..and you've probably already tried that anyway.

Have second hand lexmark e260dn and status light

Blinking status light means the printer is busy. If it's not doing anything else, disconnect the printer from the computer. Restart the printer and then print a menu settings page. Clear the print queue on your computer before re-attaching the printer. Thanks.

Prints one or to pages then stops. Have to reset computer to get it to work. No test doesn't work. It is like it runs out of memory.

Try to run a test for continuous print test page in diagnostics mode. To enter the Diagnostics mode:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the front access door.
3. Turn on the printer while pressing and holding Cancel .
4. Close the front access door once the Error light displays. Print the menu page by pressing and holding Continue until all of the lights flash. Follow the instructions on
the menu page to access the menu items.

Continuously print pages containing cross lines, printer information, and margin settings. Press and hold until the Continue button lights flash to begin. Press Cancel to stop.

Make sure he selects the "Cont Prt Simplex Tray 1" option

If problem persists, contact Lexmark at 1-800-LEXMARK()1-800-539-6275.
