Hi all, I have a lexmark z23. It's a piece of crap I know, but is all I got at the moment. So here's the deal, I came home from work one day, and the damn thing said "I'm not going to print for you today." No really, the power light seems to be permanantely on. The paper feed light blinks steadilly. And every time the paper feed light blinks, it cycles the feed motor and rollers about an eighth of an inch. It aso no longer communicates with the computer through the USB port. I have literally tried everything to fix this, from uninstalling the driver, rebooting the computer, checked printer for paper jam. Nothing has worked thusfar. Interestingly enough, I discovered that if I unplug both drive motors from the printers mother board, things seem to start working a little bit. Then as soon as I reconnect them, same thing happens. I've checked the motors themselves and they're fine, so, I'm stumped. LOL, kinda' sounds like a ticking watch. Any suggestions would be helpfull.
