Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Printing and Faxing / July 2003cyclic redundancy error
Hi, I'm getting an error message whenever I try to print regardless of the source. The message states: There was an error writing to the usb002 for the printer (Lexmark Optra E310) Data error (cyclic redundancy check). I've tried checking out support but can't find any articles that refer to the cyclic red check and printing. Also no luck at Lexmark. Rebooting seems to help, but only for a short time and not always. I'm running windows 98 and the printer is as above. Any suggestions? Thanks very much. One of these articles might help you out.

These errors are detected by adding information to the data stream that provides redundancy and then checking the data stream for changes in the data. Because of the method used to add this information, it is called a Cyclic Redundancy Check. To check the possibility of errors introduced by disk operations, run scandisk on all local HDs and fix all errors. Rebooting helps, possibly, because the next try at printing might place the spool file data in a different place on the disk. This will not help if the error is introduced by the HD controller or associated device driver. By any chance, are you near any strong RF sources (FM radio broadcast antennae, RADAR, &c)? Try placing the printer in a different location and changing the routing of the cable to the printer. RF might be introducing changes to the data stream to the printer. > Hi, > I'm getting an error message whenever I try to print [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > short time and not always.
