I have seen this a few times with Lexmark Printers and the solution I
found was the job status window was either "blocked" by the firewall or
quaran. by the Antivirus. Just to be safe you could open your firewall
and add the executable
c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\lxdupsw x.exe and give full
access.

I just had this problem. I have a HP laptop with vista and I just ran it
in compatibility mode with the printer and it worked....

Damn, Alan! That was some good work - even if you didn't nail it for
r70454ss, you sure did for me. My Lexmark x6570 was working great -
then I installed Vista SP2 RC and all went to pot....I kinda figured
that was the problem, but wanted to be sure.

Two questions that perhaps you could ask your friends at Lexmark:
First, what is the compatibility workaround? Two, I would hope they'll
be sorting this out in short order since SP2 is right around the
corner......

Thanks for the great work, even if r70454ss is a little less than
verbose in his/her comments!

I'm just a conduit, but I will pass this along to Lexmark.

For the record, Vista x64, Service Pack 2 doesn't work with the current
Lexmark x6570 printing software. Just for grins, I tried the new
Windows 7 RC software and it too doesn't work - HOWEVER, the OS
recognizes this, then applied "Compatability" settings to the printing
software so that the next time it runs, it does indeed work. That must
have been what Lexmark's people were referring to. I don't see any such
automated functionality built into Vista x64 SP2, however. If there is
a manual workaround, I have yet to be able to find it. FWIW - I've
tried this in both Windows 7 RC x64 and x86 (32-bit) and it works....
With Vista SP2 right around the corner, I would hope that Lexmark gets
on the ball and straightens this out with a driver update. Either that,
or comes up with a well documented work around - not something that
users have to hunt around forums to figure out.....

Have you tried printing to the Lexmark FAX printer from Win 7 RC?
On my system, the Lexmark FAX app shows up minimized and won't go any
further.
The print monitor does work for normal printing, though.

Lexmark stated that the changes in SP2 RC that block their application were
pulled from SP2 RTM and they are working to fix the code path in the status
monitor for future releases. Lexmark also stated that when the kernel
security fix is released from MS which will block this monitor, the
functions to force the monitor to compatibility mode will be functional.

Are you running the RTM version of SP2?

Hey, Tom. No, I haven't tried it utilizing the fax, however, I will
give it a shot tonight on both the 32bit and 64bit versions, to see if
it works....I'll post back here.
Are you using the beta for Win7 or the RC, currently? Just curious....

I'm using the RC from TechNet

Alan - I'm running the RC for SP2. I'll d/l the RTM version and install
that - see if that works for Vista....
