Printer will not complete its print

I have a Lexmark printer and every time I cancel a print
the printer will stop responding. It is not the printer
because it prints a test page and it also prints from the
notepad. It seems to be when I print from the email or
the interent only. Now I can get it to print but it will
print a half page then quit and the paper remains in the
printer.

Usually corrupted drivers.

And it's a Lexmark. Disconnect the printer from the PC.

After following Bruce Sanderson's instructions at:
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm
you MUST restart your PC with the printer still DISCONNECTED.

Then download a new set of drivers from the Lexmark website. Click on that
file and install the drivers.

Do NOT reconnect the printer to the PC until the software tells you to do
so.
