I have been TRYING to connect my Lexmark X 75 printer to my comp. I dont know why but it will randomly disconnect itself from my printer. I'll get messages saying that there is no printer to connect and then I have to turn the print spooler back on...I did that. My CD is scratched so I tried downloaded the drives from the Lexmark website. Everytime I turn my comp on it SAYS that it has found new hardware, but when I try to install it, I get an error message saying that it could not communicate and "the print monitor is not found" and my printer talks to me and says "cannot communicte with the printer". So I went online to solve that problem and when I tried to pull up my Help and Support from my start menu I got "cannot open Help and Support because the service system is not running. Open Help and Support to solve the problem" I mean what the [bleep]?!?! Can someone help, what on earth do I do?
I have windows XP and a Lexmark X 75 just to remind you
