Re: Anyone know about Lexmark printers?

Just a guess / shot in the dark, but often paper problems are caused by
foreign material (usually scraps of paper, but sometimes paper clips,
staples and other objects) that got into the paper path somewhere.

I have a Lexmark x5250 printer/scanner/copier that suddenly decided to

I really need help on this one as I can't afford another printer and
I need a working printer for the
business I'm in. When paper is inserted (and I know how to insert it
correctly, as before I had no
problem in inserting paper properly), and whatever is to be printed,
scanned and printed, or copied,
the paper starts to slip down the right side of the paper-feed while
the left side doesn't, and then I
can hear the rollers sliding all around the paper but the paper does
not continue to feed through, thus
I lose any print job needed.
What is causing this to happen, what can I do to fix it, or can it be
fixed without having to pay a high "techie"
to fix it properly? On this style of printer, you cannot see the
rollers from viewing from the top of the
paper feed, nor can you see it by lifting up the printer top for the
ink-refill location for the action of the
rollers either. This is still a good printer/scanner/copier but if I
can't get the paper feed to feed
correctly, then I'm stuck with a good quality printer and no way to
print anything, which makes it bad
for me.
Please help if you can.
Thanks.

Lexmark do not manufacture good quality printers. They manufacture very

cheap and cheerful printers that are disposible when something goes wrong
and they are out of guarantee.
