Lemark X1185 Problems

[coldnorth]

I am getting pretty desperate for a printer, any cheap printer would do right now and I am thinking about buying one. My question, if I get a new printer could I expect the same problem I am having now? Would it be worth my while to get one? Thanks

The basic problem is probably that the spooler service has been made dependent on the lexmark printing service lexbce.exe. You've probably removed this, but left the dependency.

I've found a site which tells you how to clean up the mess left by poor printer installs. You can follow the instructions if you like but you might get some worrying failures because of the service dependency. I'd perform the special lexmark steps 15 and 16 first (which will remove the dependency), then start at the beginning and go through to step 14.
