Add Printer Wizard starts to hang after installation of Dell/Lexmark printer
Problem:
After you install Windows software provided with a Dell or Lexmark printer, you cannot add more printers, because Add Printer Wizard hangs. Reason: Enabled LexBce Server service, with %SystemRoot%\system32\LEXBCES.EXE residing in memory. Solution: [WARNING! THE FOLLOWING WILL EDIT YOUR REGISTRY. ALWAYS BACKUP REGISTRY BEFORE EDITING IT.] Login with an account with administrative privileges. Create a text file any_name.REG containing the following: ----- Copy seven lines below ----- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Spooler] "DependOnService"=hex(7):52,00,50,00,43,00,53,00,5 3,00,00,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\LexBceS] "Start"=dword:00000004 ----- End of copy ----- Double-click on this file and answer "Yes" to the prompt. You may delete the file after that. Restart the computer. This will let Printer Spooler service start without LexBce Server service and will disable the latter. If later you need to restore LexBce Server service, open Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, LexBce Server, and change Startup type to Automatic. Eugene |
