Recently upgraded from Win98 to WinME after purchasing new
base unit. Under Win98 there were some minor problems with
printing but now its almost impossible under ME. The
printer tells me its offline and the computer cannot
communicate with the printer, pressing ctrl-alt-del shows
that msgsrv32.dll is not responding after which there is
usually a spool32 error. The computer hangs for a very
long time and usually requires turning off. I've clean
installed ME over ten times after completely formating the
hard drive. I've tried altering the spooling settings used
pmj, emf and raw none work, I've used different USB ports
and seperate hubs, i've used three different versions of
the driver and tested compatability with other components
on my system. In short i've done everyrthing. Lexmark deny
responsibility, asus the board manufacturer and the
computer retailer i purchased the base unit from have no
idea. I know that this kind of problem whilst not common
is certainly not unheard of and if anyone has any
solutions short of getting a new OS or printer i'd be very
happy to hear it.
Cheers.
