Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Printing and Faxing / May 2008Lexmark 8350 Vista print problem on a network
I have a senior friend with a Lexmark 8350 AIO (Vista drivers available)installed via USB on a XP home laptop. The XP laptop sees the internet via an ethernet connection to a Belkin wireless router. The XP Lexmark XP Driver software was installed and the printer worked fine. He shared the printer in XP. He hs another laptop loaded with Vista Home Premium that he has connected wirelessly via the Belkin router. Both computers are on the same workgroup. He can see folders and files files of each computer on the other computer. When he tried to set up Lexmark as a network printer in the Vista laptop, he sees the share name but the print wizard fails with a code 0x0000000d. Based upon comments located here http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PageIndex=1&SiteID=17&PageID=1 &PostID=1093075 he removed the printer from the XP computer, rebooted, and installed the VISTA drivers for the printer on the XP machine and allowed sharing ok. The printer works from the XP machine. However,he still gets the 0x0000000d error on the Vista laptop when he tries to add the printer to that machine as a network printer. Any suggestions to solve this problem would be appreciated. ********** this is the error E:\>winerror 0x0000000d 13 ERROR_INVALID_DATA <--> No NTSTATUS matched Create a Local printer instead that targets a Local Port in the form \\XPmachine\printershare, use have disk to install the Vista driver.

This would only allow print sharing. I do not think any other functions would work. Did Lexmark state the device could be shared? Did you get a Lexmark communication error or the print job fails with some error?

When I tried to print a test page during the Vista laptop printer setup, I get a communication failure error from the Vista laptop trying to print on the Lexmark printer connected to the XP Laptop. Laptops can see each other and share files and folders with no problem. The XP laptop has only USB 1.1 ports (it's that old), while the Vista has 2.0 USB ports.

When you create a Local Port using \\XPmachine\printershare you basically copy the file to the other machine Can you print to file on the Vista machine then copy the print file to \\XPmachine\printershare? you will need to open a command prompt copy filename \\XPmachine\printershare SignatureAlan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base here: http://support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. > When I tried to print a test page during the Vista laptop printer setup, I > get a communication failure error from the Vista laptop trying to print on [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >> Did you get a Lexmark communication error or the print job fails with >> some error? The Lexmark owner with this problem ( a senior) finally got back to me. Using remote assistance, I tried the copyfilename \\XPmachine\printershare command from his Vista laptop (wireless to Belkin router) (XP machine is wired to the Belkin, Lexmark 8350 AIO set up on this computer). When the command is executed from a Vista laptop admin cmd window using a file saved as a print saved to a file (*.prn), the printer prints a blank page.
