Okay folks, I'm running 10.3.1 here, and my Lexmark model Z42 printer, well, doesn't work. No matter what program I'm printing from, it get to about 10% and just stops.

Any suggestions/help?

did it ever work under panther.

you might do a check if the driver support is there, i know when i moved to jaguar my printer wasnt supported by canon so i coudnt print, could be something as simple as tht

there are some printer drivers that you have to choose in custom install when installing panther. maybe the ones you need were never installed? try reinstalling panther and doing a custom install. make sure that all the lexmark drivers are going to get installed.

You can always open a window and let if "fall out"! Is much more effective and satisfying :D Good luck!

Well, problem is, I didn't install Panther myself, it came preinstalled.

I had an HP inkjet that had the same problem in Panther...printed the top of the page, then stalled for a while and spit out the page..errors all around. I deleted the printer from the Print Utility, and then reinstalled it. Now it seems to work.

Well, I think I fixed it...at least temporarily. Even though the Lexmark site says that the default, "auto-find" drivers in panther should work fine, I found that the drivers that they have for download for 10.2.3 or whatever seems to work even better.

Well, that's my $0.02
