I know there are a thousand sites on this problem, but after reading a bunch I still can't fix it. \nWhat is NOT causing the problem:\n1) there are no queued jobs in my default printer, and I have deleted all my old printers, including the Microsoft image writer (or whatever it was)\n2) it is not a virus\n3) tried stopping spoolsv, deleting files in "C:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;spool&#92;PRINTERS and starting spoolsv again - no luck\n4) The printer is not being shared\n\nDetails:\n- I try to print something, spoolsv takes up 99% CPU and nothing prints\n- I stop the spoolsv, clear print queues, turn off printer, turn on again, start spoolsv again and it is not using the crazy amount of CPU \n- The printer shows up as being "Offline", I check "use printer online"\n- try to print again, get same problem\n\nThis is driving me mad - ANY insight is greatly appreciated.

You probable already emptied your recycle been and rebooted. The only thing I would suggest is contacted lexmark, they have a experienced staff that may be able to tell if there are any anomalies on your computer that are preventing it from accepting application of your printer.

If when you have done the print head cleanings there is no color on the diagnostic page, then yet is may be time to either have you printer serviced or replaced.   \n\nIf I long time lapsed in between printer uses then you most likely have a clogged print head.    You can purchase cleaner cartridges.  I have seen them on line but not in stores as of yet.   I have never used them so i couldn't tell you how effective they are at removing a blockage. \n\nThe other option is clean the print heads repeatedly.  Check the diagnostic pages for any improvement.  This is a last stitch effort.\n\nOne more thing if you are not using original Epson cartridges, that may be your problem..  There are compatables on the market with low purity inks, or made with universals inks that are too dense for the printer.

hi...if you are using win2k or win xp just go to control panel and choose printer and fax category ( make sure you are in classic view or if not switch it to classic view")\n\nMake sure that your HP printer is your default printer (have a black check mark on it.)\n\nCancel all documents that is still on pending and after that connect your printer device. Make sure the software is properly installed and cables are properly or securely in place. \n\nIf that didnt work then might as well unistall your software and install it back in. Follow the steps that is indicated in your HP usermanual.\n\nhope that helps..

if you see an icon at the bottom right hand of your screen double clik it and then right click the job that is open and hit cancel. if you dont see it then hit ctrl alt delete and goto processes,find the printer there and stop that process. most printers have a cancel on it,if so hit that. other then that not sure.\nThe Maddmann

your nozzle check is good.  Run a couple cleanings on it.  then check again.\n\nYou may have a priming issue with the bulk ink systems.  Epsons always need a little ink to remain inside the print head in order for them to print.   If the system is drawing back in after a print then you will have a void in the print head resulting in a lack of print.\n\nDo a few nozzle cleaning since those tend to use a little ink do your nozzle checks as well.  Trying printing immediately after wards.   Do a couple pages to see if there is improvement.  If that works then you have huge problem with the bulk ink system.  One that will eventually damage the print head beyond repair.

you could be getting this if you have not got enough ram or your power supply is limited.Try disconnecting a couple of things like printer camera speakers and try again or uninstall a few software programmes that you dont use or if your disk needs defraging then run that and try again.Sounds like you are overloading.

try turning it off and on. try disconnecting it from the pc then reconnecting. reboot the computer. you can try to stop and restart the print spooler. to do this go into control panel-then administrative tool-then services-then scroll down the list till you see print spooler-double click that-now click stop-you will get a message from the computer-click ok-once it has stopped the spooler click start-once it has started try to print something. there may also be a button on the printer to set it on or off line .worse case you can uninstall and reinstall the printer. hope one of htese works good luck

OK, try this. Go to Start > Control Panel > Printers and other Hardware > Mouse > and then uncheck the "turn on click on". Click OK. See if that solves the problem if not you can change other settings in the 'mouse window'

I have seen this happen before with HP deskjets and I reinstalling the printers drivers did the trick each time.\n\nTry to get the most recent drivers of the printer manufacturers website.\n\nGood luck!

try printing text not images making sure the paper size is set ok and and try printing the printer test page - if it is still playing up then try reinstalling or updating the drivers, other than that it may well have died - the firmware within n the machine that translates the computer stuff to printer head location and ink squirt is not doing it's job

Go to your printer console on the bottom right corner and cancel all prints. Disconnect the printer.\n\nThen reboot your computer and try connecting your printer again.

make sure you run a "detect hardware" scan on your computer to check that yourcomputer knows that a printer is connected. second, it might be printing the page blnak because the ink cartidge is dry or jammed?

hmmmm,,i'm betting you deleted the print spooler service by removing a Lexmark printer?\nYou will need to have a windows cd,open it and look for printspooler.exe ,Once you find it ,reinstall

Have you attempted to reinstall the drivers?\n\nAlso, run a test page and see if it does the same thing?\n\nLastly, print a picture, does it miss part of the picture?

There may be a document waiting to be printed in the Printer Queue. Click on the START button, choose SETTINGS, then choose PRINTERS. The Printer dialogue box will open. RIGHT-CLICK on the printer icon, and choose OPEN. If there is any document listed that did not print, click on it and delete it. This may fix your problem.
