Lexmark 125 Printer

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

I have a Compaq/Lexmark printer I've had problems with since I upgraded to
XP. The so said driver fix (SP16040) makes the printer work, but, that's all.
I bought a HP printer for the flatbed scan feature and tryed to hook them
both up and the the Compaq goes offline and won't interface, disconnect the
new printer and it works fine. I've checked for hardware conflicts and there
are none.
I belive the software suppied to Microsoft from Lexmark is foul.
My older printer is very similar to the x125 all in one
Compaq put it's name and number on it (A1500 all in one)
