I have a lexmark 2500 series. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer many times and it will not work. I have also set my print spooler to automatic and my rpc to automatic but that did not help either. I have tried everything and nothing seems to be working. I am really about ready to throw my computer and printer in the garbage. I would like to have this fixed asap because I need to print off some pics for my sons birthday party this sat (october 10th 2009). If anyone knows how to help me fix this help me as soon as you can!!

I did get the right driver off the lexmark website and the message that pops up is:
Program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe
Module: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\W32X86\3\lxdddat r.dll
File:
Run-Time Check Failure #3 - The variable siNumberOfTopics' is being used
without being defined

I know this is too late for the birthday party, and I'm not sure if this will help in your case, but check out this link (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistahardware/thread/794f0326-2b43-4b81-bc15-ab17bbc1aca6). There are some links in there from Martin that have some things to try. From what I can see, many people do have this issue (independent of the printer brand).

Best of luck!
