Dell 946 Printer Loses Communication

I have a two week old XPS 210 with a Dell 946 printer.  Every day or two, the printer stops working and the error msg says communication failure.  If I unplug the USB cord from the printer, then plug it back in, the printer starts working; but the problem recurs in a day or two.  The 946 is set as the default printer.  I checked services, and there is no listing for lexbce.  Any ideas?

    There is no listing under services for the Lexbce Server, so I can't start it.  The Print Spooler is listed, and started.

    I think you should start the Lexbce service.
     
    Try to run the services.msc and locate for the  Lexbce server in the list of services. right-click the service and then click start. And as well as the print spooler. in case you don't have it enabled.
     
    Let us know if this resolved the problem.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the software.  There are still no services listings for Lexbce Server or dlbx_device.  I'll post back if the problem recurs.  Thanks for your help.

    did you already go to msconfig if you have the services lexcbe enabled there? if not try it uninstall and reinstall your printer after checking the msconfig. or you can go to command and run this command to go to command type cmd on the run box:  in the command window type  net stop spooler then hit enter.. after that sc config spooler depend= RPCSS start= Auto  follow that exactly including the uppercase and lower casing of the letters, then enter.  last command is net start spooler then hit enter.

    go to run type msconfig then under msconfig go to services check under the services tab if you have the lexcbe then check it if it not. then restart your pc. and try to uninstall and reinstall the driver for your printer.

    I already uninstalled and reinstalled the software for my 946 printer.  There is no Lexcbe Server listed in services.  I also ran the commands you requested - same result.

    did you uninstall and reinstall the program after running the commands i told you? if not try to uninstall and reinstall it. if same issue try to download the updated driver from the internet or if you have an extra USB cable try to change it.
