    Printer problem

    Had no prior problems, Lexmark X4270 printer stopped in middle of small print
    out - after ejecting one page. Got notice: "AIOC has stopped working" and
    it offered to search net for a fix. Then it vanished. Checked
    troubleshooting section in Lexmark help , but indicated printer was "ready".
    Vista will do almost anything but the laundry, but in doesn't seem to
    understand when I try to talk to it. I had difficulties a little way back -
    but finally downloaded the correct driver from Lexmark. I still have an
    4019 IBM laser printer (by Lexmark) and can't get a driver that works in
    Vista. Now, I can't print anything. This whole Vista experience is a
    humbling one, and I'm beginning to feel like an idiot. Please, somebody
    help. Mucho grassy in advance.

    Re: Printer problem

    First thing to do is uninstall and reinstall the printer... it sounds like
    the drivers have become corrupted.

    Lexmark should have an uninstall utility on their website to make sure you
    get rid of all the driver remnants.

    A little more info needed.

    Make and model of printer? When did it last work correctly? Does it have
    enough ink in it? etc etc
