Answer : Problem: lexmark x83

Unplug all connections to the computer and then power it down.  Now power it up with it still unconnected to the computer.  Will it copy now?  If not, I would say you have a bad piece of equipment.  Return it.
If it will now copy you are on the right track.  Plug it into the computer, download the latest drivers from www.lexmark.com and apply them.
