Thread Status: Not open for further replies. Advertisement ding28 Thread Starter Joined: Dec 12, 2003 Messages: 4 I tried to print one day, and got an error message saying no printer is installed and to reinstall driver. I uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers, but after reinstalling (when I get to the last step with the "finish" button), I get an error message saying "The specified print monitor is unknown." After that, I cannot continue and no printer is installed, just my printer software. I have a Lexmark X1150 series and Windows XP. I called Lexmark tech support https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/870666 a few times, and after countless uninstalls/reinstalls, they concluded that something was wrong with my operating system. I'm out of ideas for what to try, short of reformatting and reinstalling Windows. Anyone have any ideas? ding28, Dec 12, 2003 #1 Sponsor roban Joined: Jul 9, 2002 Messages: 394 Try this: Unplug the printer, uninstall it's software, restart computer, plug the printer IN A DIFFERENT USB PORT, install its software. roban, Dec 12, 2003 #2 cahallmxj Joined: Feb 13, 2003 Messages: https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-print-monitor-is-unknown.186929/ 158 ding29: hopefully what roban said will work, if it doesnt though make sure that when you remove the drivers for the printer that it is actually removing it from the printers window in control panel. If it is "stuck" will not uninstall and the printer is disconnected from the computer, try running a repair on windows to "unstick" it. After that if you upgrade to the latest drivers it should work. That type of problem can happen with some of the older lexmark drivers and xp cahallmxj, Dec 12, 2003 #3 ding28 Thread Starter Joined: Dec 12, 2003 Messages: 4 Sorry. One of the first things I tried was to unplug it, uninstall, change USB slots and reinstall. And there is currently no printers installed on my computer. When I try to install, all I get is the Lexmark software, there's still nothing under Printers and Faxes. ding28, Dec 13, 2003 #4 cahallmxj Joined: Feb 13, 2003 Messages: 158 ding28: I would try running a repair on xp. it cant hurt and it might fix the problem. cahallmxj, Dec 13, 2003 #5 PC_Wiz Joined: Nov 19, 2003 Messages: 1,245 Try this before running a repair. A repair wont fix problems with the registry. 1. Open the Printers (Printers and Faxes on Windows XP) folder delete all of the printers click File, Server Properties select the Drivers tab for each entry: select the entry click Remove 2. Disable the printer spooler service a)Open Com
