windows xp gives an error 1068 when you try to print something.

=======
when your lexmark printer service doesn't work, this gives a print spooler error.

answer in a nutshell

change the lexmark service, LexBce Server, startup type from disabled to Automatic (or Manual);
if you still need to, do the same for the Print Spooler service from disabled to Automatic.
you may need to change the status to "started" as well.

HI,
right click on my computer -> select manage -> one should be services and something (or something like that) open that and go to services -> find the printer spool service and right click on it -> click on properties -> in the printer spool service properites click the "Start" button and also under a drop down menu change it from "Disabled" to "Automatic".... This is what you did right ?

Bonus printer related info
==========================
microsoft fax highest resolution is 200x200 dpi.
if you click "print to file", with the microsoft fax software, it produces a file with no extension, which is supposed to be rumoured to be ~.prn file that other printers should be able to print off. but, it looks like it is a .tif image file.
this doesn't work with lexmark, as its files won't open with an image viewer.
