Lexmark Z640 Printer only prints to 99% and then stops & needs to be closed. Can not print another document until the computer is restarted. How do I get it to print 100% so that I can print again? Please advise Sylvia

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.

Try to do a test print using the printer utility installed on your computer and also check if the driver is properly installed on your computer and if not make sure that your printer is using the printer driver from your setup CD.

Hope that helps...........

I thank you for your understanding and wish you success in your daily work

You plugged the printer in and it didn't work? Download the driver for your appropriate version of windows here:

http://www.driversbay.com/drivers/printers/lexmark/z640/

That should work... After you download it, follow any additional directions on how to install it. Make sure the printer is plugged in, and restart your computer, then try to print something simple, like a word document.

I had many problems with Vista fixed in this way.

1) Unistall drivers supplied with printer
2) Download new Vista drivers
3) Disconnect printer
4) Restart computer
5) Install new drivers (connect printer when it asks)
6) Restart computer

For me it now works.

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

same problem. everytime i restarted my pc and deleted the printed files from control panel/printers/lexmark x5150.
