Somewhere I read that it could be the USB cable. In my case where I use a USB cable, they don't block any print jobs. Lexmark x5650 Driver Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP (64-bit).

Lexmark x5650 Driver Windows 10: According to Windows 10 compatibility page of Lexmark website you should install Windows 8/8.1 driver on your Windows 10 machine for your Lexmark x5650 printer. Talking to Norton, they tell me the only print jobs that they block are print jobs that are printed through Wi-Fi. I verified that the printer programs that the printer troubleshooter said needed access through the firewall are allowed through the firewall, but it didn't seem to matter. One thing that is in the back of my mind is when I run the printer troubleshooter, the final suggestion it has is that my virus software (Norton) isn't letting the print job through the firewall. I have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled the printer several times and using the disk that came with the printer, just plugging in the printer and letting the drivers load automatically, going to the Lexmark website and downloading the printer drivers, nothing seems to work to solve the problem permanently. After I reboot I start the whole process over.works for 2 or 3 print jobs, than I need to restart the spooler, then I need to reboot again. This works for several more print jobs.Įventually, when I try to restart the spooler, I get a Windows Runtime error message that some Lexmark exe file attempted to terminate the spooler in a unusual way, and the only way to get the print job to print is to reboot the computer. Each time a do a print job I need to go to the print spooler and restart it. Using the printer troubleshooter I found out that if I go to the print spooler, I can re start it and it will print the print job that is pending. After that if I try to print, the print job just sits in the tool bar as 'pending'. I can print 2 or 3 print jobs with no problems. I have a Lexmark X5650 printer running on a Windows 7 system printing with a USB cable.
