I have a client running Win 2000 on a Compaq Desktop. The Printer is a Lexmark color printer. This is a stand alone system. When printing, only the first page is printed regardless of how many pages are in the document. Under the printer properties I have the "ALL" selected under print range. If I select to just print page 2 it will just print page 2. Let me know if more info is needed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jerry.

Hi, I do have some questions & suggestions:

What model printer and is the correct driver installed (I would suggest the newest one from www.lexmark.com)?
Do you have MarkVision installed?
Does the type of data and application make a difference (plain text, PostScript, spreadsheet, HTML page, etc.)?
Does the display on the printer change to 'ready' after the first page is ejected or does it stay 'busy' for a while?
On the printer, check that 'Print timeout' and (if you use PostScript) 'Wait timeout' are not disabled. Their menu locations depend on what model you have.

We support many Lexmark lasers on stand-alone and networked computers, running Win98, NT4, and AIX. I know this can be made to work. HTH

Change the port setting in BIOS to Standard. Re-install the LPT driver. Lexmark colour printers( I'm assuming inkjet here) don't like the enhanced settings on Compaq PC's
