Well i'm not surprised to see u facing this problem,i've seen it on different OSs and on different types of Printers and wherever i've seen it it was only solved by getin a brand new printer.
i dunno whats the deal with printers and their drivers i've tried to update the driver, reinstall it .... but no solution. plus ur using windows Vista on wish drivers have a higher % of not working properly even if it says it is Vista compatible. i know i didnt offer u a solution but just to tell u ur not alone in this problem  cheers.

Try right clicking the driver/program and clicking properties. Then click compatibility. Next, check run under different OS and make sure Windows XP SP2 is selected. Then check run as administrator and click apply, then ok. Finally, reboot your computer and let me know if this fixed the issue.

Try closing all the printing programs (including those in the system tray (near the clock). Then turn the printer off, then unplug it.

I don't have a solution, just a different problem. For me it's in the set up. After set up, (I downloaded the one for my printer) my lexmark 1150 icon is on the toolbar (by the clock) like it should be, but it seems I am missing something in the set up process? It didn't go through the whole set up process. I now click on the Icon, it starts loading, then error? AIOC has stopped working?
I just got this computer with Vista Home, It worked fine on my old computer with XP. I Don't Know what to Do? New Printer? |

Have you followed the instructions here: http://support.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/suppor...d=Lexmark+X1130
If so, here's Lexmark's suggested fix: http://support.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/knowle...amp;relevance=1 -------------------- - John

Thanks a lot Monika x With Lexmark printers (having one myself), after you install the drivers, Windows Vista needs to manually install the drivers as well. Then once that is done, you need to reboot in order to print.
