CAN'T PRINT WITHOUT REBOOTING!!!!!

Please turn off your Caps Lock Key. It's considered shouting, is extremely
rude and makes the posting difficult to read.

I suspect there is nothing wrong with your printer, but the problem is with
the USB port. Right click on My Computer, select Properties. On the
Hardware tab, select the Universal Serial Bus Controllers.

Expand the tree, click on each USB Root Hub in turn and the the Power
Management tab of their Properties, UNCHECK the box to let the PC turn off
power to the USB ports to save energy.

Thank you, I think it worked, I can't beleive Dell and Lexmark couldn't figure it out. Sorry about the caps, I'm just used to typing in caps when I email friends. Thanks again, Jeanne.

Hi Cari,

I'm having the identical problem with my Lexmark X1150, but I've tried going
into the USB Root Hub, and I don't have a "power management option". Any
other suggestions??
Thanks, TS-D
