Runtime error

I am getting this runtime error when attempting to run my printer:

c:\\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\LXBFPSWX.EXE

I have contacted the maker of my printer, who told me it was a computer
issue...the computer maker told me it was a Vista issue...anyone have any
thoughts? Solutions? It would be greatly appreciated

Yes this is an issue with the Lexmark driver.

Uninstall the printer, driver, and use the Lexmark supplied cleanup utility
for your specifi mopde to remove all the other Lexmark stuff installed by
means other than the spooler service.

what is the driver date or file version of LXBFPSWX.EXE?


Bruce has some good steps to follow

If you have a Lexmark printer, these additional steps may be necessary
(thanks to Robert Orleth [MSFT] for providing this information). The
Lexmark printer installation process sometimes installs a service that makes
the print spooler service dependent on itself. If there is a problem with
Lexmark service or a Lexmark printer driver (or you removed it using the
steps above), the print spooler service may not start (see also
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324757). The steps
below make the print spooler service only dependent on the Remote Procedure
Call (RPC) service (RPCSS), which is normal. The print spooler service
dependencies are stored in the registry at
