I don't think I'd want to try it. Be afraid the napkin would jam in the printer or if it's 2 ply, would come apart. Might depend on the quality of the napkin. Not familiar with your printer but I don't think my HP PhotoSmart P1000 would pull a napkin. Imprinting on napkins is usually done with a foil heat stamp machine. How about getting a rubber stamp made, they have inkpads in all kinds of colors now. If you get brave and it works in the printer, let us know. Jill

Download the latest, greatest driver for your printer from Lexmark's website. Go into control panel, then Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall anything related to Lexmark. Unplug the printer and reboot the computer. Once the computer is back up run the driver software and follow the instructions. Don't plug the printer back in until instructed to do so.

I've got a HP All-In-One prnter, HP Photosmart 3210xi. Its a printer, copier, and scanner. This particular model has USB port. The next model changed the ports, but was essentially the same machine inside. I got this printer because I needed to have achival quality ink for genealogical records, and to print photos. This printer uses 6 cartridges of HP's Vivera ink, and fixed print heads. This printer has worked well for me. The inks are pricey, but the black cartidge does print a reasonable number of pages. To date, I have run 8000 sheets of paper through this machine. I was concerned about clogging of fixed print heads, but that has not occurred. However, I do follow, without fail, HP's instruction to shut the printer off and allow time for it to store the print heads, before removing power. Other HP printers had the print head on the ink catridges, thus, a clogged print head could be fixed by changing the cartridge. The fixed print head was a concern of mine since I had bad experience with a Tektronix printer with fixed heads at my work (when ink jets first became available way back in the 1980s.) Happily, I have not had a problem with my print heads and I have owned this printer for 2 years. The printer does have a habit that startles the user until he becomes familar with it. The printer has an automatic maintence program built-in to keep the heads and ink supply in shape. Periodically, the maintence program will start and may startle the user. The printer is not available for use while the maintence routine runs. There is no recourse but to wait. The maintence routine lasts from 30 sec to 1 minute. Ink cartridges are sold singlely, or in a pack of 6 cartridges with 50 sheets of 4"x6" photo paper. This photo pack, at first, appears to be a good deal until one learns that there is less ink in these cartridges than the regular ones. There is just enough ink to print the number of photo sheets in the package. I found it was economical to buy a couple of these photo packs collecting more photo paper than I would use for awhile, and then switch to buying the regular cartridges. The inks and printer does print nice photos when the special photo paper is used. One caveat: the ink is not as resistant to running if exposed to water droplets as one might hope based on advertisements. It smears even after a drying time of 1 day. But protect the ink from wetting, and the results are fine.

OK Sapphires you have answered my questions. Now I will suggest something absolutely stupid. I suspect your printer is one of many models Lexmark built that has a peculiarity. Next time you print a photo remove your internet connection cable and the job will/should complete. There, I told you the cure was stupid. Lexmark built about 50 or more different models with this defect. Then they made it difficult to find the answer on their web site. The article will not be there now probably as these are older printers now. I could not find your model on their site, nor mine. Ours did the same trick and it was always when printing photos and always around 45 to 50% finished when the printer stalled. All that expensive ink wasted does not make for a happy customer.
