I upgraded to vista in July and since then my trusty Lexmark Z816 has been having problems. From clicking print it takes on average 10 minutes to print a single page word document.
From what i can tell the spooling takes the normal amount of time but then it takes about 5 minutes for the Lexmark software to acknowledge that the spooling has finished and to start printing. The Lexmark then takes another 5 minutes to print the page - remember this is a page of writing on the lowest quality/fastest print mode. The problems go away if i use the printer on my laptop which has XP SP2.
I downloaded the vista drivers for it , no change. So then i went out and bought a new 'vista compatible' Lexmark z1420 and had all the same problems. Plus a few new ones recognising the USB
What i need is a printer that works on vista. Just saying the manufacturer have vista drivers on their website isn't enough as Lexmark has shown me.
any suggestions?
