Lexmark X83 print delay in XP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

If you kept the printer connected during the upgrade you have corrupted the
drivers.

You need to do a COMPLETE uninstall and reinstall.... AND it's a Lexmark...
see Bruce Sanderson's instructions for how to blitz the drivers... and
ensure you take special note of his steps 14 through 16.
