I have a lexmark optra sc 1275 printer, and i have the latest drivers for it. But when i go to print a test page the printer doesn't do anything.
I'm running windows 2000, thank you in advance

One of the critical steps (from their website) for ininstalling the Lexmark drivers for this model is: "Select START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, SERVICES. Verify that the SPOOLER SERVICE is started and is set to startup automatically."
I would uninstall the printer first and then go to
http://www2.lexmark.com/infatlib.nsf/e88852933afdfd458525671a005a4951/a5ba413a1614652385256906006664e0?OpenDocument
(remove any spaces)
and follow the instructions to the letter. Lexmarks can be very fussy inthis area. I would also check in the Device Manager to see that the lpt1 port properties were set to "Accept any interrupt assigned to the port" and "Enable legacy Plug & Play detection".
Hope this helps.
John
